A Modern Romance

A Modern RomanceA Modern Romance

Glór na dTonn was packed on Friday night for the premiere of Cumann Dramaíochta An Chorráin‘s production of A Modern Romance. The evening was great fun. It was clear to see the amount of time and effort that had gone into pulling the whole thing together, not just by the word perfect actors but by all of the support volunteers. There were also some lovely performances by the children from Dooagh National School.

There are pictures and comments on the Cumann Dramaíochta An Chorráin facebook page.

If you missed it last Friday, there will be two more performances, next Friday 21/04/17 at 8.30 in Glór na dTonn and Saturday 22/04/17 in Ballycroy at 9.00pm. Tickets available at the door.

A second performance of The Maiden Aunt

For those of you who missed it the first time around, Cumann Drámaíochta a’ Chorráín, The Currane Drama Group, will be reprising their production of The Maiden Aunt at Glór na dTonn. The performance will take place on Friday April 8th. Doors will open at 7.30pm and the curtain will rise at 8.00pm. Tickets 10.00 Euro.

We were lucky enough to attend the Good Friday performance. It was a very entertaining evening. So much effort had been put into the production. Those involved should be very proud.

The Group will also be performing at the Ballycroy Community Centre at the later time of 9.00pm on Saturday April 9th (doors open 8.30pm).

Good luck everybody! Break a leg!
