YOUNGSTERS will take centre stage with a performance of The Wizard of Oz.

Sixty-five pupils between the age of seven and nine, from Turton and Edgworth Primary School will put on the show at The Barlow in Bolton Road, Edgworth.

Katie O’Donnell, one of school’s teachers, said: “The children are all very excited and have been practising really hard ready for their big debut.

“The performances are a fantastic opportunity for them to appear on a real stage with costumes, lights, and microphones.”

The performances will be tomorrow at 2pm, Monday and Tuesday, April 7 and 8 at 6.30pm.

Tickets cost £2 and are available from Angela Enright at the school on 01204 852932.
