CAMROSS DRAMA GROUP

Rehearsals continue for the upcoming hilarious three-act comedy ‘Canaries’ by Bernard Farrell. Director, Michael Stafford is doing a great job, organising his 12 strong cast. Performanc­es will be as follows: Friday, November 30, and Sunday, December 2 – Camross Hall; Wednesday and Thursday, December 12, and 13 – Wexford Arts Centre.

We are delighted to welcome some local drama groups who also have one Act DLI Festival plays – On Friday, October 19, Wayside Players will perform ‘Riders to the Sea’ by JM Synge and on Sunday, October 21, Kilmuckrid­ge will bring ‘A Tear was Flowing’ by Tommy Monaghan to the stage at Camross Hall. Along with our own festival entry ‘Lucy in the Sky’ by Tony Layton (amateur performanc­e in conjunctio­n with Stagesript­s) these promise to be another treat in store for audiences.

The Camross cast and crew will not be resting on Saturday the 20th though – they travel to Kilmuckrid­ge to entertain theatre lovers there. The festival play has now also been accepted by Rossmore Festival, bringing our entries to six – the maximum allowed.
