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:
“Sometimes a musical phrase would perfectly sum up
The mood of a moment. One of those lovelorn sonatas
For wind instruments was riding past on a solemn white horse.
Everybody wondered who the new arrival was.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Our true history is scarcely ever deciphered by others. The chief part of the drama is a monologue, or rather an intimate debate between God, our conscience, and ourselves. Tears, griefs, depressions, disappointments, irritations, good and evil thoughts, decisions, uncertainties, deliberations—all these belong to our secret, and are almost all incommunicable and intransmissible, even when we try to speak of them, and even when we write them down.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
“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)
