This retro gallery shines the spotlight on the budding stars of the stage in these school plays and amateur theatre shows from times gone by

Those shows could just have been doing it for a bit of fun, while for others it could well have been the start of bigger things to come.

Here we take a look at some of the performers from school plans and nativity events around Chesterfield as well as the amateur dramatic scene.

Take a look at the pictures and see if there is anyone you know.
