Two west end stars from the London production of The Book of Mormon made a surprise visit to Carlisle alongside fellow cast member and local actor Jack McNeill.
The actors, who have also appeared in productions such as Wicked and Dreamgirls, travelled up to Carlisle to meet members of Stagedright youth theatre spending time answering questions and giving career advice.
Sean Parkins is also the resident choreographer on the Book of Mormon with Jed Hoyle and Jack McNeill.
StageRight founder, David McNeill said: "We were delighted to welcome the lads who were so positive and enthusiastic about Stagedright and what we offer our students.
"We were even able to show them round our fabulous rehearsal studios which simply blew them away.
"They spent so much time giving their thoughts and experiences of the industry and between the three actors, have so much knowledge to share.
Jack is David's son and had taken a week off the west end show to support his parents with their recent production of Barnum which received rave reviews.
