Become a part of Offaly’s Drama and Musical Societies and offer a wealth of enjoyment and creativity to all.
Offaly County Council, Arts Office recognises that theatre and drama are an intrical part of social and artist life and we are working towards building capacity and increasing professional standards.
Musical Societies and Drama Groups are always looking for participants. You do not have to be a singer, dancer or actor, in fact a lot of these societies are desperately searching for people to volunteer with talents for set design, prop management, costumes design and tailoring and stage make up, clerical assistance or just fund raising. These societies are an excellent conduit for community and individual solidarity and they produce the very best in amateur dramatic and musical productions.
There are voluntary amateur drama and musical groups throughout Offaly. Please do contact us on 05793 57400 or email arts@offalycoco.ie for more information.
Alternatively there are a few you can find on the internet and facebook – this is not an exhaustive list.
