A YOUTH theatre's latest production is all sewn up after a donation from a clothing store.

Durham Stage School, which will perform The Wiz at the end of the month, has received a donation of costumes from Matalan, in Durham.

Almost 50 children aged six to 16 will take part in the production, a modern adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, when it is performed at the Gala Theatre, Durham, on Thursday, May 31, and Friday, June 1.

Show director Elissa Hudson said: "We are using a huge number of costumes in this show, and Matalan very kindly offered to help us out. To get such a positive response from them is overwhelming.

"The kids are really excited and looking forward to the show."

The Wiz will be performed at 2pm and 7pm.

Tickets are £8 and £7 for concessions, available from the theatre box office on 0191-332-4041.
