TEENAGERS at a Bishop Auckland school are weighing up their careers options after a visit from a group of actors.
One of the country's biggest theatre companies, CragRats, called at King James I Community College as part of a six-week tour of schools in the region.
The company, which specialises in educational theatre, performed It's Your Choice to year 11 pupils yesterday. The show is about four young people considering what to do when they leave school.
The cast of four professional actors talked about post-16 options, including NVQs, BTECs, City and Guilds, Modern Apprenticeships and A-levels.
CragRats project manager Lynn Garnett said: "We have a laugh and the show is very interactive. It isn't until afterwards, when sometimes we hold a workshop, that they realise they have learnt about their options.
