A HUDDERSFIELD company is giving local youngsters the chance to work on a short film and stage play as they tour the UK.

Ruffneck Productions, based at The Media Centre in Northumberland Street, is touring the film and play.

The media production company is looking for stagehands, technicians, actors and actresses to join the tour.

Director Fragrance Francique said: "We are looking for people from all walks of life, but particularly people from the Newsome, Deighton and Crosland Moor areas to take part."

Last year, Ruffneck took a show to the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield, Sheffield Hallam University and The Priestley Arts Centre in Bradford.

This year, Ruffneck will tour the film and show in Huddersfield, Sheffield, Newcastle, Southampton, Manchester and Glasgow.

Auditions and meetings about the film and play will be held on April 23 at Ruffneck's offices at The Media Centre.
