Thurles Musical Society to hold auditions for Made in Dagenham show

Thurles Musical Society will hold auditions on Saturday November 23 in the Ursuline Secondary School for their upcoming Made in Dagenham show which will run in The Premier Hall from March 31 - Saturday April 4.

The show was officially launched last week by TMS Chairperson Eidin Sweeney who told those in attendance that there are loads of parts and great music, especially for the chorus which will be kept busy throughout.

Director Oliver Hurley was on hand to outline the show and his plans for Made in Dagenham which is based on a true story and is centered around the theme of standing up for your rights and not being afraid to speak out. The musical is created from the story of machine operators in the Ford factory in Dagenham, London and has some fantastic anthem-type numbers which will have audiences riveted.

There was a great attendance at the launch evening and a welcome cupán tae afterwards made for a very pleasant, social evening.
