THE town's hardworking Break-A-Leg Theatre Company marks its 12th birthday this year with a run of shows starting tonight.

Cabaret 2002 marks the last time the old Bridley Moor School in Batchley is used before being redeveloped.

But for directors and founders of the registered charity, Jo and Barnaby Hiles, the run of shows will be even more poignant as it marks the final production involving their daughter Jessica before she goes to college.

It was Jessica who prompted the couple to set up the charity which caters for young people from four to 18, both able and disabled.

Cabaret 2002 runs from tonight until Saturday, starting at 7.30pm.

Tickets are available on 63002 for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Saturday is sold out.
