Noahsaid: “I was speechless when my mum told me I had won The Stage Scholarship, I couldn’t believe it!

“ This is all I long to do, is to perform. My drama teacher highlighted the auditions to me, the audition itself was so much fun and I came away on a high having had an amazing time. I knew how much it meant to me but for my family too, they were over the moon. I cannot wait for rehearsals to start, it will be a new experience for me but one I know will be amazing.”
