LOCAL talent shines: BAOS Limelight will be presenting a production of Grease at Queen Mary’s College on October 31 and November 1, and the show will feature talented young people from the area.

The choreography for the performance is being devised by 15 year-old Zoe Blackall, who lives in Hatch Warren.

Zoe has been dancing since she was three and has choreographed dance sequences before, but this is the first time she has taken on a whole show. Tickets are available from baoslimelight.ticketsource.co.uk.
