The performances were of exceptional quality and reflected the outstanding talents for all our performers, musicians and backstage crew members, we couldn’t be more proud.

A special thank you to all staff involved, as well as our wonderful Friends of Drama Support Group, without your dedication, the Musical’s success would not have been possible.
