Union High School, Graaff-Reinet is proud to present its 2024 stage production – ‘𝙎𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙎𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨’.

Union’s bevy of aspiring thespians have been working tirelessly since the start of the year to produce this upcoming musical and with the show less than a month away, rehearsals have kicked into high gear to prepare for opening night.

“Goin’ courting” has never been as much fun as in this rip-roaring stage version of the popular MGM movie. Millie – played by Caytah-Leigh Koeberg – is a young bride living in the 1850s Oregon wilderness whose plan to civilize and marry off her six rowdy brothers-in-law to ensure the success of her own marriage to Adam – played by Finn Cilliers – backfires when the brothers, in their enthusiasm, kidnap six women from a neighbouring town to be their brides.
