Ryedale Youth Theatre will be gaining some new company members in a few years time with three teachers recently having babies and another one due later this year.
Rehearsals were paused for several weeks when the key members of the team took time out to be with their new arrivals.
Choreographer Lauren Hood had a baby son, Musical Director Rachael Clarke, a baby daughter and Producer/Director Chloe Shipley also had a son.
The cast of the forthcoming show “The Wizard of Oz” met the babies when rehearsals resumed early in February. There is one more baby to come, Choreographer Rachel Morris is also having a baby, which is due after the show.
A spokesperson for the Youth Theatre said: "Despite the rehearsal break everything is coming together nicely and the hard working cast are looking forward to being back on stage in the Milton Rooms to tell the much loved story of Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow and their journey along the yellow brick road to meet the Wizard of Oz."
The show takes place from March 27-30 and tickets for the show are available now from www.yourboxoffice.co.uk
