The University of Canterbury Musical Theatre Society has performed around 80 productions over its 50-year history, and many of the members involved on and off stage are about to gather for a reunion to mark its anniversary. MUSOC was formed to not only entertain, but to encourage people to hone their skills - performing, writing and as crew. Past members include singer and lecturer Judy Bellingham, jazz maestro Tom Rainey,and more recently actor/comedian Brynley Stent and composer Luke Di Somma who was our guest on the Laugh Track recently. One of the first productions was Cinderolla & The Fairy Oddmother, penned in 1972 by a young Philip Norman, who of course has gone on to have a respected career as a composer, conductor and educator. Lynn Freeman talks to Philip and to one of the reunion organisers and former MUSOC director, Cam Stewart. MUSOC 's 50th reunion is on at Haere-Roa, University of Canterbury starting on the 7th of October.
