West End performers and television actors will join Moreton Hall pupils for a one-off theatrical performance celebrating the school's 110-year history.
The immersive show, titled 'Promenade,' will see audience members move with the cast from scene to scene, each reflecting on moments from the school's past and present.
Matt Laplinkas of EastEnders and Dancing on Ice, West End performers Kane Oliver Parry and Maggie Lynne, and Emmerdale's Rebecca Eastham are some of the famous faces set to feature in the performance.
The show, is scheduled to take place on July 5 at 6.30pm, is open to the general public and will take place throughout the school's grounds and buildings.
Each short performance will be followed by a walk to the next location, finishing with a live band, fairground rides and a BBQ.
The school's head of drama, Michael Jenkins, the director of the production expressed his hopes and inspirations for the event.
Mr Jenkins said: "When coming up with a way of celebrating the school’s rich history, I was inspired by the founders' story of starting up the school from humble beginnings, in the centre of Oswestry to where we are today."

He added: "It’s also wonderful to be bringing industry professionals to Shropshire to help us celebrate this momentous milestone.
"All four actors bring with them decades of experience and will no doubt help to make this an even more memorable event."
The starts are equally enthusiastic about the event.
Mr Laplinkas said: "I’m really looking forward to performing in the Promenade - the character, Nicholas who I have been cast as - is a passenger at Gobowen Railway Station in 1996 and he’s unhappy with the station’s imminent closure.
"The rehearsals have got off to a great start. I’m enjoying being in the area.
"Shropshire is a beautiful part of the world."
Promenade will tell crucial moments from the history of the school, from instances like saving Gobowen Railway Station from closure to its recent accomplishments.
The grand event will conclude with a supper provided by the school’s onsite catering team and live music from 'The Wandering Wings.'
Moreton is welcoming not only those related to the school but the entire community to partake in the celebrations.
