Sancta Maria College is alive with the ‘sound of music’ once again as the 2016 major musical production is in full swing. This year a cast of highly talented, enthusiastic students will come together to put on the timeless classic: The Sound of Music. Under the directorship of Drama HOD, Verna-Lee Oliver and alongside the musical talent of the College orchestra, the students involved, whether they be in the lead cast, ensemble, back stage crew or providing an orchestral masterpiece have been meticulously rehearsing in preparation.
The school’s rendition of The Sound of Music is set to be performed from the 18th until the 21st of May at the Genesis Theatre – Vodafone Pacific Events Centre.
