Sharp and Short Theatre
At Sharp and Short Theatre, we had one of our eisteddfod pieces progress to the final which took place on Friday 3 June at The Riverside Theatre. This was an amazing achievement, as only 10 plays were selected out of 65 entries from around NSW! Here, the girls were awarded the highest honour of the night, “Best Overall Production”, which is the first time Pymble Ladies’ College has ever won this award! We are beyond proud of these students and this impressive accomplishment.
