No mean show for young Brigg actors
Actors, singers and musicians, in the form of the Academy Show Band under conductor Jayne Keeler, joined forces as they performed Scrooge, the academy’s 2016 production.
The cast had been busy rehearsing for weeks before giving three public performances and an additional show for feeder primary schools.

“It’s been a great experience and a production we are all proud of.”
Other lead roles were played by Nathan Price as Marley, Millie Tucker as Mrs Cratchit, Aric Tompkinson as Bob Cratchit and Milly Glover as Charlotte Cratchit.
