THIS year's Christmas show at Darwen Library Theatre is the Wizard of Oz.

The show runs from December 12 to Christmas Eve.

The theatre has joined forces with George Critchley for PMA productions and, after last year's successful Christmas show Pinocchio, the theatre is pleased to work again with the same producer.

The Wizard of Oz is a classic which has delighted generations in the festive season and has almost become part of a traditional family Christmas.

Tickets are priced £4 to £7.50, family tickets cost £21 and there are discounts for school and group bookings.

They can be bought by calling the theatre's box office on 01254 706006 or in person from Darwen Library in Knott Street.
