PUPILS at a school dedicated to music and drama are putting on a traditional show this Christmas.
Pupils from years seven to 11 at Belmont School Community Arts College in Durham, which has specialist status for music and the performing arts, are staging Aladdin.
The cast have performed the show for local pensioners and children from nearby primary schools.
Last night, it was the turn of family, friends and relatives to see the performers in action.
Aladdin is played by Jessica Parkinson, and Holly Dumble takes the role of Princess Jasmine. David Gould is Widow Twankey and Thomas Robinson is Wishee Washee.
Headgirl Rachel Roberts, who plays Evil Ebenezer in the production, said: "I hope everyone who comes to see the show enjoys it as much as I have enjoyed performing in it."
There are performances tonight and tomorrow at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £3.50 for adults, £2.50 for concessions, and are available from the school on 0191-386 5715.
