WOULD-be stars are needed to tread the boards in a colourful variety show that will be raising funds for a local hospital.

Bryant Homes is sponsoring the event at Northallerton Community Centre on March 3, which is being produced by Kath Wilson.

She is now looking for people with talent - children and adults - such as musicians, singers, dancers and comedians, willing to take part.

Kath, a former dance teacher, has produced such events before and says she is looking forward to her new challenge.

All the proceeds from the show, however small or large, will go towards the funding of the new children's ward at the Friarage Hospital, Northallerton.

Anyone interested in audition can contact Kath at work, on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and weekends, 9.30am to 5pm, on (01609) 776421.
