Vibrant acting, clear voices and Christmas music made the performances of the young people in the Class Act Drama Academy stage school at the Courtyard Theatre, Ballyearl a huge success.

Directed by Miceala O’Neill, the Newtownabbey class teacher, the play had the audience gripped and entertained in equal measure. The young actors showed how they were able to use their physical and vocal skills to create various dramatic contexts within the play.
