The Pinelands Thespians of Pinelands Regional High School are back. Big time! They’ll be performing “The Sound of Music” at 7 p.m. from March 3 to 5 and 10 to 12 and at 1 p.m. on March 5.

The Thespians, like everybody else, had been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Performances had to be canceled or moved online; shows with much smaller casts than normal were selected.

But now things have returned to normal – or at least the new normal – for the troupe. A two-weekend run with a cast that seems like thousands!

“I was very nervous about a two-week run,” said director Chuck Miller.
