We are delighted to announce that this year’s show 'Curtains' will be launched with a special information night on Monday, August 25th at 8pm in The Patrick's Well, Boyle.

 

This bright, brassy musical ‘whodunit’ will be staged in Boyle from November 19th to 22nd.

 

If you are a fan of musicals like ‘Chicago’, ‘Cabaret’ and ‘The Producers’, then this is just the show for you!

​

Are you the sort of person who might be interested in twelve weeks of singing, drama, dancing and great fun?

If you are, come along on the 25th and meet the production team, learn about exciting plans for the show and the audition and rehearsal schedule.

Then in St. Joseph's Hall on Wed. 27th, we have Dance & Ensemble auditions for everybody and on Thurs 28th, we have private auditions for anybody interested in taking a leading role. Links to lead audition pieces and character descriptions are now available on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

 

Looking forward to seeing everybody on the 25th!!

​

We are also delighted to announce that Karen Gordon from Sligo’s Pop-Up Theatre will join our production team as Director this year and Eiméar Mulvey will join as Choreographer, while our long serving Director and Choreographer Vivienne Moran, takes a well-earned gap year.

​

Full rehearsals will begin on Monday, September 1st in St. Joseph's Hall.

​

‘Curtains’ is set in 1959 as Boston’s Colonial Theatre is playing host to the opening night of a new musical. When the leading lady mysteriously dies on stage, the entire cast and crew become suspects! Enter a local detective, who just happens to be a musical theatre fan!!
