East Clare Musical Society begins rehearsals for ‘Sister Act’

The East Clare Musical Society will return to the boards with this classic and very popular musical comedy drama “Sister Act”.

The Society held its AGM last night and Darren McNamara stepped down as Chair. During his six year reign Darren has led our group through 3 sell-out shows including ‘Oliver!’, A Night at the Musicals performances, just prior to the Covid pandemic taking hold. Earlier this year the group bookended Covid with another fantastic set of performances in A Night at the Musicals 2.

A group spokesperson said: “We’re delighted to say that our hard working society will return to the boards with this classic and very popular musical comedy drama.”

“This show will definitely feature some amazing singing and dancing talent as we have the highly experienced Sarah Allen as Director, Pamela McGlynn as Choreographer, with Johnny O Brien as Musical Director who will be assisted by the indefatigable Sarah King.
