STUDENTS from Bolton Dance and Performing Arts College have been appearing in the popular Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the town's Albert Halls.

The record-breaking show, which stars local favourite Stu Francis, and Kenny Baker, of Stars Wars, is in its final week.

Teresa Harper, principal of the college, said: "Earlier in the run, the students were allowed to miss lessons when there were performances during the day and did their schoolwork between shows."

Two groups of children split the performances between them, she said. "It is hard work, but good experience for them."

Snow White has broken all box office records for a panto at the Albert Halls.
