A DRAMA festival is set to bring Warrington Collegiate and the Arts College at Bridgewater High School together for the first time.

'Something to Shout About' will include a teacher's workshop on each afternoon for both primary and secondary school teachers.

In the evenings a variety of different community pieces will be performed by Arts College students, collegiate and Warrington Youth Theatre students.

One piece will be performed with youngsters from the David Lewis Centre, a school for people with learning difficulties based in Great Warford, Cheshire.

Richard Hall, festival organiser and community arts tutor at Bridgewater High, said: "Both institutions have a history of community involvement and wish to share this with the people of Warrington.

"A fantastic time is guaranteed for all, as the community come together to celebrate the talents of youngsters living in the Warrington area."

The event will take place at the Arts College on Broomfield Road, Appleton on Wednesday March 21 and the Derek Newton Theatre at Warrington Collegiate on Wednesday March 28.
