A drop of golden sun hits the stage
THE Leas was alive with the sound of music last week when a Shepway theatre group put on a string of shows based on one of the world's most popular musicals.
Hundreds of people watched a cast of local children and adults in the Community Theatre Project's production of The Sound Of Music at the Leas Cliff Hall from April 10 to 14, enjoying the timeless tale of governess Maria sent to teach the many children of the family Von Trapp.
