A St Ninian's High School student has wowed judges with his powerful performances, to scoop the title Young Actor of Mann 2009.
Matt Ogden, aged 16, performed two pieces and pipped five other finalists to the first prize, a trophy and a week at a drama school in England.
The award was presented at the Easter Festival of Plays, at the Gaiety Theatre last night.
Matt reckons his ability to learn lines quickly helped him get ahead:
More coastal overtopping expected as strong winds continue
New weather warning covers next two high tides
Full lighting capability restored at Isle of Man Airport
Issue affecting main runway now fixed
Snaefell Mountain Railway out of action after storm damage
But the MER will be operating as normal tomorrow
Council confident for Manor Pub's future
Question marks over beloved establishment's future
