Otumoetai Musical and Drama Productions
Over the past 45 years Otumoetai College has taken great pride in presenting numerous musical and drama productions to the Tauranga community. Over the years thousands of students and teachers have dedicated many hours and been heavily involved in frequent productions staged by the school. “The first concert took place in the college hall on the evening of 18 August 1965 under the direction of Mrs Bartlett” (Farthing, 2005, p44). From that date on the school has flourished and expanded their growing ideas and passions for dance, drama and performing, leading to numerous presentations for the community at Bay Court, the local performance centre in Tauranga.

Famous quotes containing the words musical, drama and/or productions:
“A pregnant woman and her spouse dream of three babies—the perfect four-month-old who rewards them with smiles and musical cooing, the impaired baby, who changes each day, and the mysterious real baby whose presence is beginning to be evident in the motions of the fetus.”
—T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)
“My faith is the grand drama of my life. I’m a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colours for those who see none.”
—Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992)
“If you think it will only add one sprig to the wreath the country twines to bind the brows of my hero, I will run the risk of being sneered at by those who criticize female productions of all kinds. ...Though a female, I was born a patriot.”
—Annie Boudinot Stockton (1736–1801)
