A GROUP of talented primary school pupils are preparing to take to the stage at Colchester’s Mercury Theatre.

The 14 singers from Chase Lane Primary School will be performing in the Pimlott Foundation’s production of Humperdinck’s Hansel & Gretel.

They are taking part in the production as part of a children’s choir.

Mr Sanders, Chase Lane’s music teacher, said “All of the children should be extremely proud of their efforts. They have undertaken rehearsals during and after school and given up their weekends. We all look forward to seeing their performance.”

The performances take place between February 11 to 14.
