TALENTED performers at Andrew Curphey Theatre Company received a special message from a trio of famous faces.

Members of the stage school were surprised with a message from Take That after spending months rehearsing for the 10th anniversary show at The Brindley theatre.

Teacher Andrew Curphey said: "It went really well after many months of hard work.

"I had to keep the video a secret, which was a challenge.

"It was a message for all the performers and we played it after the two shows.

"It was like a rock concert as everyone went wild."

Now in its 10th year, performers were celebrating a decade of the Andrew Curphey Theatre Company.

Classes are held across Widnes, Runcorn, Warrington and Frodsham.
