Just as the play itself is an important part of the education process, encouraging creativity and expression and building a greater sense of community within the school. “All those involved learned the commitment that is required. They

Unless you have been in a play, you might not understand the amount of work which goes into a production. “The My Fair Lady cast and crew wanted to entertain but also produce a show the audience would be proud to see. I think they did that.”
