A THEATRE company is celebrating ten years of performing for the public.

Vikki V's Theatre Productions are a group of all ages based in Halstead who perform two shows a year at local venues.

The group have expanded recently and now run rehearsals in Hedingham, Halstead, Greenstead Green and Sudbury.

To celebrate their anniversary the group have also relaunched their dance school and have been performing the to-tapping musical Summer Holiday.

Auditions for their latest winter panto, the classic Wizard of Oz, are due to take place on August 2 at Hedingham Village Hall.

Victoria Walker, who set up the group in 2006, said: "I have had an amazing professional career from, television, professional West End theatres, aboard cruise ships and holiday parks for many years so to be passing my professional training, talent and experiences on to people of all ages is very rewarding.

"Having settled down to married life and now a very proud mum to three beautiful babies under five it's lovely to see them performing and joining in with shows and classes - it certainly runs in the genes."

Tickets for the group's performance of Summer Holiday can be bought at Just for Men in Halstead.
