YOUNG people are getting ready to go on stage as part of their work for a Duke of Edinburgh Award.
A team of 10 is working in a barn in Skelmanthorpe and they have teamed up with the Marsden-based Mikron Theatre group to create an original piece of improvisation.
A Heart of Stone gets its inspiration from a heart carved in a stone in the barn by William and Mary Oxley in 1700.
Marianne McNamara, from Mikron, has enjoyed working with the young people.
She said: "The youngsters have used their musical, performing and writing skills in a way that professionals would be proud of."
A Heart of Stone will open at Dewsbury Town Hall tomorrow.
