We are so excited to annouce that our Lindsay Street Players and Young People’s Theatre collaboration production The Sound of Music is now OPEN!!! We are so excited to have had the opportunity to allow 2 of our senior students to attend the cast’s final dress rehearsal and give you a sneak peek at the show! These students are Isla (14) and Alice (14)! Let’s take a look at what they had to say!

What happens in the show?
Isla: A young woman named Maria becomes the governess of 7 Children.

List a few things you liked about the following elements of the show and how it enhanced your experience: Lighting, Use of Sound/Music, Costume, Set & Props: 
Isla: I like the costumes and how they add to the ambience of th musical as well as give insight to the time period.
