Snapshots of a perfect life will be presented in the latest stage show from Keighley youth theatre HYT.

The Bridge to Utopia takes the 26-year-old group back to Victoria Hall for its first large-scale production of 2003.

The youngsters have worked closely with writer-producer Jon Crossley on the script for the musical.

He asked his cast to look at their ideas of Utopia -- a perfect place or situation -- and whether those dreams could be achieved.

The resulting production contains "comic, tragic, thought-provoking, light-hearted, emotive" snapshots of such situations.

These include a 1980s New Year party, a family kitchen during the war, schools and an elderly residential home.

Jon's songs incorporate guitars, mandolin, drums, keyboard and woodwind instruments.

The Bridge to Utopia is presented from Wednesday until January 18 at 7.30pm. Buy tickets from Willis Walker Sports, Cavendish Street, Keighley, or by phoning 01274 832438.
