I HAVE been with Stagecoach Youth Theatre for six years. It is doing a lot for me, teaching me many life skills and gives me great opportunities to socialise with my friends.

The main reason, of course, is to teach me the skill of drama.

It would upset me a lot if it were all to go to waste and to stop continuing because it means so much to me.

I am learning so many things at Stagecoach Youth Theatre and it would change my life if it were to stop.

So please, York council, don't cut the funding of this lovely theatre group and help to keep it running.
