| Our show was in December 2008; in February 2009 one of our House Managers traveled to Austria and took The Sound Of Music Tour. She was extremely excited, and we awarded her a free MHS Drama Club Sound of Music 2008 tee-shirt in exchange for these pictures: | |
 |
 |
| Here's THE gazebo from the movie! | And even better, here's Grace, at THE gazebo, wearing OUR tee-shirt! |
Check
out this really
cool video of guerilla performace art in Belgium, of "Do-Re-Mi".
I promise you'll smile! |
