What a great performance from all the children who attend Stargaze Drama group.
Last night they performed “Bugsy Malone” at Queen Margaret Union, Glasgow and what a show it was…………..
I’m sure everyone will agree it was a wonderful performance and it’s all down to the hardwork from the pupils, staff who volunteer every Tuesday after school and Maria Antelmi who directed and produced the show.
Well done everyone!
