SCHOOL pupils and staff are busy rehearsing for a production of Joseph.

Pupils at Stowmarket Middle School were inspired by last year's BBC programme Any Dream Will Do and asked staff if they could stage the show.

Head of Music, Liz Elstone, said: “The children are getting really excited and building up to the performances.

“They asked me if they could do Joseph after seeing it on TV last year. There are lots of staff involved and it is a really big thing for the school. There will be proper lighting and we have got the Joseph coat made and the cast have all got the proper official Joseph T-shirt.”

The cast went to London in September to watch the show. Performances of Joseph will take place from Wednesday March 12 to Friday March 14 at 7pm. Tickets cost £4 for adults, £3.50 for children and can be obtained by calling the school office on 01449 742510.
