The story tells of Anne’s adventures, an adolescent living in the Prince Edward Island in Canada. The students commenced practices in January and fifteen year old Kavishka Fernando was selected to play the role of the bright and talkative Anne. Those in charge of the production are Nafisa Amirudeen, Beatrice Devasagayam and Claire de Silva who said, “Drama plays a big part in the schools’ curriculum. Students are trained in Drama, Dancing and Singing from a very young age not only in English theatre but Sinhala and Tamil drama too. The girls worked extremely hard during rehearsals as a result of which the production has shaped up very well.”

This weekend will have something breathtaking in store for those theatre goers when the girls of Bishop’s College take centre stage to enthrall you with a historic quotient of Drama, Dancing and singing in its finest form.
