Harrogate pupils host successful production of 'Little Shop of Horrors'
It's quite a challenge to make a giant talking plant believable - never mind the star of a stage show.
Yet pupils and staff at Harrogate’s Ashville College are still coming down to earth after a successful run of Little Shop of Horrors at Soothill Hall.
Six months in the making, the show was led by Director of Performing Arts, Karl Boyd, with a cast of well over 100 combining comedy, drama, song and dance.
While the show certainly raised the roof, it also provided pupils with an opportunity to stretch themselves either under the lights or backstage in diverse roles including dancers, band members, performers, costume designers, technicians and even puppeteers.
Mr Boyd said:

Head of Ashville College, Rhiannon Wilkinson, said the cast and crew deserved the plaudits after months of hard work.
She said:

“For some, it may have started and a voyage into the unknown and perhaps even a little daunting but the applause at the end of each show was well deserved – not just for the accomplished performers and technicians but for each and every individual who decided to try something new.”
