Young songbirds aged from 7 to 18 years old will perform a selection of sensational songs from the musicals in front of an audience of parents and friends. And you are invited!

Choir mistress Jacqui Ganley said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for the choir to show off their skills and enjoy a night in the spotlight. There will be group numbers and solos with the choir performing songs from Wicked, Les Miserables and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat among others. Everyone is welcome and it promises to be a fabulous evening!"

The Terra Nova Choir is named after the Terra Nova School which Jacqui's mother, Beryl Whittaker, turned into the Whittaker Dance and Drama Centre on 11th February 1952. Since then the Centre has been a long standing training ground for many young performers. Jacquie added: "When my mother set up the Dance and Drama Centre she promised to keep some of the history of the Terra Nova School alive and this is where the name of the choir evolved."

The Terra Nova Choir will delight audiences at the Lawrence House Studio at the Grand Theatre, Blackpool on Saturday 5th July at 3pm and 7pm. -- www.blackpoolgrand.co.uk
