They will oversee the youth theatre, sound and lighting systems, box office, and more.

White Rock Theatre’s sales and marketing manager Dave Cameron said: “We are looking for a pupil to take charge of this wonderful theatre for a day.

“To be in with a chance of winning, you need to pen a piece of persuasive writing.

“I need you to write a letter to encourage your best friend to walk to school with you rather than going by car.

“Think about the health and pollution benefits of walking to school, the conversations you can have, the sights you can see, and try and include that in a persuasive letter.

“It is a wonderful opportunity to be a part of our theatre.”
