The group will be performing ‘Tidy Your Rooom!!’ at St. Joseph's Church Hall in Batley Carr for one night only on Friday, July 21.

Directed by West Yorkshire Drama Academy’s founder Rebecca Foster and written by local playwright Judith Greenwood, the show opens when young Mel is told to tidy her bedroom - and fast.

But where to start? Who will help Mel? And who will, literally, try to trip her up?

A spokesperson for the group said: “Come and see how Mel and her favourite toys get the job done. Or do they?

“They'll be helped out by dances, songs, and some cheeky Cockney rhyming slang!”

Tickets for the show, which starts at 6.30pm on Friday, July 21 at the Naylor Street venue, are priced at £3, with under 5s admitted for free, and can be purchased by calling 07956 048711.
