Ladymead VPA has decided that as we still have one licence remaining for WWRY and we had to turn so many people away from our sold out shows who wanted to see the event,  we will perform a special one off full show in support of the Haiti appeal in April. Keep posted for a date. Bring on the sheep!!

This was total magic and  the direction and standard that all schools  should follow. Ladymead is the no. 1 place for top quality productions in Taunton having seen this”.Not a bad quote from a very well to do educational establishment.We are very proud of all who took part and our school is buzzing for the announcement of the next production.Thanks to all who came and supported the show.
