It's exciting to see that local Lilyfontein School is taking the arts to a new level by weaving a school tradition of environmental conservation education into a popular discourse with their theatrical remake of Little Shop of Horrors. It is courageous and intelligent to use the power of the creative arts to build a bridge over different departments and codes, linking outdoor education, sports, arts and culture among the scholars and teachers. This reflects intelligent, relevant school leadership and is an inspiration to others. To the cast and crew we say, BREAK A LEG.

Lilyfontein is proud to present the upcoming production of Little Shop of Horrors. 🌱
