A Tauranga youngster is quickly becoming accustomed to life in the limelight after being selected to appear in her second professional stage show.
Seven-year-old Venice Harris was in the midst of the Auckland production of Annie when she found out she had been selected as the youngest Von Trapp child in the upcoming The Sound of Music production.
The news of her selection as Gretl in The Sound of Music came as a huge delight to her, her mother Melanie Harris said.
"She was screaming. She was really excited."
The family had to keep the news a secret for weeks until it was announced publicly over the weekend.
