Congratulations to Tom Pritchard (left, top) and Wil Pearson (left, below) who are currently appearing in The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan at Derby Assembly Rooms alongside Larry Lamb and George Sampson.
Tom is playing Wendy's brother John and Wil is playing Lost Boy Slightly.
It's been an awfully big adventure (as Peter Pan would say) so far for the boys and they are loving every minute of the experience.
Unfortunately two nasty viruses have swept through the three teams of boys sharing the roles - though so far (touch wood) Tom and Will have stayed healthy. All being well they are scheduled to perform in both shows on Sun Dec 16; Wed Dec 19; Sat Dec 22; Boxing Day; Sun Dec 30; Thurs Jan 3 and the last 5pm show on Sun Jan 6. Tickets are available on the DerbyLIVE website.

It may be the festive season, but it's busy, busy, busy at LTC where we have started rehearsals for the Easter 2013 youth production.
We are thrilled to finally have the chance to perform the classic Tim Rice/Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
For many people this show was their first introduction to musical theatre at school or on a theatre trip and we know it remains as popular as ever today.
The show runs from April 2 to April 6, and demand for tickets is bound to be high - so get your orders in quickly to avoid disappointment.

We were thrilled when the Severn Trent Choir - featuring our own Adrian Bancroft - triumphed in the first series of The Choir - Sing While You Work run by choirmaster Gareth Malone on BBC-TV.
The works choir made the Burton Mail again recently promoting a concert they were performing at Birmingham's Elgar Hall.
