YOU'VE seen TV's Popstars - now standby for Redditch's own version as the Palace Theatre gears up for heat three of its Reach for the Stars talent contest.

The competition on Saturday will see youngsters performing their acts in the hope of gaining a place at the grand final in July.

Twelve acts will be featured, including singers, instrumentals and dancers aged nine to 15.

Master of ceremonies is popular entertainer Sue J Willis and the judges are George Brookers, Tracey O'Callaghan, Bill Parkinson and Don Hughes.

Prizes have been donated by the Kingfisher Centre, Argos, Marks and Spencer, BHS, Woolworths, Curry's and WH Smith and include TVs, a camera, gift vouchers, clock radios and art sets.

The show, which kicks off at 2pm, is being run in conjunction with Rodgers and Payne productions.

So if you want to see the stars of tomorrow, get down to the Palace Theatre on Saturday.

Tickets cost £3.50 (£3 concessions) and can be ordered by calling 65203 or 68484.
