Centre Stage



A sequel to Bright Lights - a modern-day Ballet Shoes - continuing the story of eleven-year-old Sophie and her burgeoning acting career and the trials and joys of friendship and family.

During the summer holidays, Sophie landed herself the main part in a locally shot big-screen film. Now she faces a new challenge - starting secondary school and trying to fit in whilst underplaying her recent stardom. Then when she is cast as Lucy for the theatre production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe she is over the moon. However, she soon finds herself struggling with some of the dance routines but can't quite bring herself to admint she needs help. Through the course of the term and the lead-up to the exciting first night, Lucy finds there is much to learn about growing-up and just how important loyalty, honesty and, more than anything, friendship are.
