Anglesboro Drama

From our Chairman Dan McCarthy

A big heartfelt thank you from Anglesboro Drama Group to everyone who came out and supported our five-night run of Dancing at Lughnasa. Your presence and encouragement mean everything to us—without our audience, there simply is no show.

There is a real sense of satisfaction among the cast and crew in having brought this wonderful piece of drama to the stage. This achievement is the result of four months of hard work, dedication, and commitment from every single person involved—from those on stage to those behind the scenes.

A heartfelt thank you to our director, Jim Keane, for his guidance and tireless efforts throughout the production. We are grateful for our cast, whose passion and commitment shone through in every performance. We would also like to sincerely thank our set-building team, including artists Dmitrii and Olena, whose creativity helped create an authentic stage setting. Our thanks also go to the local volunteers and Community Council for their continued support.

Finally, huge congratulations to Aidan Maunsell on winning the President's Prize for his outstanding contribution to drama over the past year—a well-deserved recognition of his dedication to our group.

We are grateful to be part of a community that supports local drama and believes in the power of storytelling. It is this shared passion that makes what we do possible. Till next time ...

The annual president’s award was presented at the end of last nights show. This year, Aidan Maunsell was the worthy recipient of this award. Aidan does Trojan work on the set design for every show and his trade skills are invaluable to the group. We take great pride in our set design for each show and this year has been no exception. Aidan also acts as wingman to stage manager Maurice O Connor nightly and for all he does, that is why he is this years winner. Congratulations and thank you. 👏👏👏👏👏
