THE GREATEST Show on Earth - that was the theme of a recent theatre workshop in Odiham.

Thirty youngsters congregated at Robert May's School for a five-day course that culminated in a drama, dance and singing extravaganza.

The theme this year was "The circus" and the children performed numbers such as There's No business Like Showbusiness, and That's Entertainment.

Karen Blackburn, who runs the Loose Moose theatre company, said: "When the children came together on a Monday morning, they didn't know each other at all, but they had made lots of friends by the time of the final performance."

More workshops are set to be held at Robert May's in August - a week for under 13s begins on August 19 while over 13s begin on August 26.

Street-dancing lessons are also currently being held at Robert May's and Queen Mary's College in Basingstoke.
