Students are aiming high

PERFORMING arts students from Warrington are heading for some of the country’s top acting and dance schools.
The youngsters from Priestley College have been offered places at prestigious schools such as East 15 School of Acting, Bird College of Dance and the Urdang Academy in London.
Head of performing arts Sarah Graham said: “Audiences enjoyed watching these students in their winter showcase and that kind of experience has
helped them to achieve their places at these top performance schools.
“What they have achieved is incredible and it has been wonderful for us to watch them blossom into such strong and talented performers.”
Most recently audiences were entertained by their winter showcase of set pieces taken from the likes of Mary Poppins, Dogfight and Decadence.
Next they will be starring in Priestley College’s production of “Spring Awakening” on May 12, 13 and 14, giving them a final chance to impress Warrington audiences.
Sarah added: “They will want to go out with an impressive show so everyone is in for a treat.”
Priestley’s first years will also be performing “A Chorus Line” on June 23, 24 and 25.
All performances for both shows start at 7.30pm and tickets are on sale now at £9 for adults, £7 concessions. “Spring Awakening” is considered  suitable for over 16s only.
