In 1953 a princess, a castle, graduates, women with pointy hats and men in tights covered the stage in the high school auditorium when Summerland Singers and Players presented Princess Ida, a Gilbert and Sullivan opera. This year the castle, princess and men in tights will be at Centre Stage, when students from Summerland Secondary School present the musical, Beauty and the Beast. Summerland has always been home to a lot of talent—theatre productions began here in the early 1900s—and residents are always eager to enjoy the next showcase to be offered. Don’t miss this one!
