Some 40 pupils from the schools have been working in conjunction with professional circus company Citrus Arts, Olly Crick, a professional Commedia Dell,Arte director and Stewart Coleman, a drama teacher at Bridgewater High.
Project co-ordinator Deborah Luty said: “I have been amazed with the enthusiasm from pupils and staff to make this dying art form a true success. The ideas and creativity the pupils are putting forward have been a credit to each of the schools involved.”
Diana Terris, chief executive of Warrington Borough Council and the Mayor of Warrington, Coun John Joyce will be attending the first performance next Tuesday (July 13) in Old Market Square.
