THE Patrician Youth Centre in Downpatrick staged their first live musical show post Covid last Friday.

The Youth Theatre group delivered three live performances during the day, entertaining children from St Colmcille’s Primary School, St Brigid’s Primary School and Our Lady and St Patrick Primary School.

During the evening parents and family members of the cast were entertained and dazzled with singing, dancing and acting from some favourite musicals, including Annie, Oliver!, Shrek, The Wizard of Oz, The Lion King, Matilda, and Les Miserables.

Yvonne Maguire, senior youth worker, said: “A cast of 32 participated, having rehearsed since February. Despite ongoing absences, the production made it to stage showcasing the wealth of talent in our midst.

“Hopefully this sets the scene for the commencement of our annual pantomime again in September.”

She added: “Congratulations to all our members who starred in the production and a big thank you to our staff team who worked with our children and young people throughout the term.”
