A THEATRE company set up to promote young talent in the North-East is working towards its first production.
Youngsters from across the region were put through their paces recently at auditions in Darlington, Durham, Newcastle and Sunderland for a production of Oliver, by the Dionysis Theatre Company.
Hugh Conway, production administrator, said that there was fierce competition for places.
He said: "We were overwhelmed by the quality of all those who auditioned and we were pleased to accept just over 100 to appear in the show."
The company is performing the show at Durham's Gala Theatre, from Wednesday to Saturday, August 21 to August 24.
Tickets are available from the Gala Theatre's box office, on 0191-332 4041.
