YOUNG people from across the borough got the chance to sample life on the stage as speech and drama college Rose Bruford hosted a theatre workshop.

The children were given a taste of every aspect of the theatre from performing to technical support at the college in Burnt Oak Lane, Sidcup.

Working with qualified tutors, the children used masks and scripts for performances.

They also learned about digital arts and lighting and sound.

At the end of the week, family and friends were invited to the Rose Theatre, one of two theatres on the college campus, to watch a show devised and performed by the children with help from their tutors.
