Young talent on-stage in Kells

There will be plenty of talent on display in Kells Theatre School's 11th annual production, which takes place this Sunday in the St Vincent De Paul Theatre, Kells at 7pm. The show will feature over 60 children from Kells and the surrounding areas in a series of performaces. These include the mini musical 'Darby O Gill and the Little People', 'Cinderella' and 'Rats,' the story of the Pied Piper. There will also be singing and dancing to hit songs from 'Grease', Lady Gaga, 'Beauty and the Beast' and a medley of hit songs from the movies. The children, aged between seven and 14 years, have been busy in their weekly workshops of drama, dance, singing, and creative storytelling since last October and now their big moment has arrived when they will display their talents on stage. Another feature of the school is the publication of a book of stories written by the students. This concept has generated great enthusiasm among the children. They have been very creative in their writing, said Gaye Grant, who was in charge of this project. Artistic director John Grant is looking forward to the performance on Sunday and says that all the students have worked very hard over the year and deserve great supportive attendances at the show, which will start at 7pm. The students will receive their certificates of completion at the performance from special guest of honour, Cllr Bryan Reilly.
