WELL done to The Flying Ducks Youth Theatre for the excellent production of West Side Story, performed last week at Joseph Rowntree Theatre. This talented group of 50 teenagers showed great enthusiasm in their work and were a credit to the many adults backstage who have faith in the youth of today.

It was also encouraging to see teachers in the audience from Joseph Rowntree School supporting some of their pupils out in the community. Well done one and all. We look forward to next year's performance of Music Man.
