“From clapperboard operators to camera and boom operators, there were roles to suit everyone.

“I am hoping that it has inspired a new generation of budding actors and behind the scenes professionals.”

Manager of the Phoenix Theatre, Kyle Crook, added: “It was a wonderful sight having the theatre full of smiling faces.

“They all enjoyed the different roles and learnt a lot about acting and production skills. It was a pleasure for the Phoenix to host the event.”
