ONE hundred children from JKS Performance Studios based at The Heath Business Park, Runcorn, received standing ovations and huge applause at their fist show since joining in May.

"20th Century Rewind" at the prestigious Theatre Clwyd in Mold, proved to be a spectacular event before a sell-out audience.

Director Kevin Otley said: "Considering the children from our Musical Theatre groups had only been working together for three months, the result was superb."

Reliving the 20th century (with a superb score, pyrotechnics and special effects) from the silent movies to Robbie Williams, the children 'rocked' and we are all thrilled to see their hard work and enthusiasm acknowledged so brilliantly.

Children of all abilities and ages performed to an exceptional standard.

Kevin Otley, said: "It was quite an emotional experience and satisfying to hear so many parents say how they could perform so well and how proud they were of them.

"It was fabulous time for everyone involved.

"Well done, JKS students!"

Classes cost £30 for a four-week trial period. Students will be assessed on ability and positive attitude.

The school looks for lots of enthusiasm and energy, plenty of self-discipline, a longing to perform and the attitude necessary to succeed.
