Glencullen Musical and Dramatic Society 40th Anniversary Gala
November 22-26, Mill Theatre, Dundrum

Calling All Members and Friends New and Old.
Singers and Dancers, Actors and Actresses. Kids and Adults.

GMDS is calling up all members and friends to celebrate 40 years of shows from Glencullen and down the mountains to Dundrum. A GALA Show is being prepared for November and we want YOU to be part of it!

A variety of musical, dancing and dramatic numbers will be put on. The show is in the planning stages now. Much work is needed but great fun is to be had doing it of course! You can get involved early if you wish to get in your own ideas for numbers and would like to be involved in preparations. The show plan will be made firm at the end of August and beginning of September and rehersals will run from Sep-Nov.

We are hoping that members from throughout the society's history can come and take part and recall the fun and glory of past performances. Send us any messages with your favourite past performances and memories of GMDS. Watch out for news of the show in September and November.

We have had a very busy last year. The musical The Pajama Game played the Mill theatre from May 3rd to 7th. The cast and crew put on a very funny, colourful and vibrant show. The costumes in the picnic scene were loud but the whole performance was even louder and jumped off the stage!Before the troubles in the Pajama factory there were troubles on stage and back stage with the farce Noises Off which was put on in the ice and snow in December 2010.

Polish up your stage shoes, tune up your voice, dust off your song books and limber up your dancing moves. Get ready for a funny and memorable night out.
