GHT RUN 9TH FEBRUARY 2023

Due to a number of factors, Enniscorthy Musical Society (EMS) had to recently cancel its proposed production of "The Producers" and expressed its gratitide to everyone who had supported and encouraged them in their efforts to stage that show.

But all is not lost! A musical society doesn’t get to reach the 50-year milestone without being resilient, and EMS is indeed blessed with that attribute. Under Chairperson James Dobbs, it was decided to hold a number of other events to help celebrate its important anniversary, starting with its recent ‘Race Night with a Twist’ in the IFA Centre on February 24, followed by a Craft Fair taking place in the IFA Centre on 12th March, 11am to 4pm, and then the pièce de résistance – its ‘Hits from the Musicals’ show which will take place in Coláiste Bríde on April 15, and for which the group is busy rehearsing at present, and really looking forward to performing it in front of a live audience particularly after several years of covid-induced inactivity.

The Slaney News wishes the cast every success with it ‘Hits’ show under the expert guidance of director Imelda McDonagh, musical director Kevin Kennedy and choreographer Anne Marie Cooney. With such a formidable team behind the production, everyone is eagerly looking forward to getting back on stage again in front of a live audience.

Meanwhile, the society is always open to new members joining and those interested in doing so can make contact with the organisation through its Facebook page ‘Enniscorthy Musical Society’. Keep an eye also on that page for more details of its
