A YOUNG performer won two first prizes in a festival for performing arts.
Amy Parkin, 18, from Darlington, won the poetry section and the open championship in the town's Performing Arts Festival last month.
The Polam Hall pupil also came third in acting and won a certificate of commendation in the sight reading category.
Headteacher Marie Green said: "Amy's achievement deserves special recognition as she performed alongside many older and more experienced competitors."
