Boyle Musical Society is delighted to announce that this year’s show will be the hilarious musical mystery comedy, ‘Curtains’.
This bright, brassy musical ‘whodunit’ is suitable for all the family and it will be staged in Boyle from November 19th to 22nd.
‘Curtains’ is a brand new show; set in 1959 as Boston’s Colonial Theatre is playing host to the opening night of a new musical. When the leading lady mysteriously dies on stage, the entire cast and crew become suspects! Enter a local detective, who just happens to be a musical theatre fan!!

If you are a fan of musicals like ‘Chicago’, ‘Cabaret’ and ‘The Producers’, then this is just the show for you!
A launch night, presentation and auditions for principal parts will be held in late August.
Rehearsals will begin on Monday, September 1st and everybody is welcome to join but please note that there are no parts available for students in Junior or Leaving cert. years.
We are also delighted to announce that Karen Gordon from Sligo’s Pop-Up Theatre will join our production team as Director this year. Karen, who recently directed the critically acclaimed ‘Sweeney Todd’ musical in Sligo, has taken part in several of our recent shows and we are thrilled that she is joining us, while our long serving Director Vivienne Moran, takes a well-earned gap year.
