Killarney Musical Society’s ‘Evita’ a resounding success

Published

on

The Killarney Musical Society's production of 'Evita' concluded its run at the INEC with three nights of packed audiences and an extra children's matinee on Tuesday afternoon.

The production, which ran from March 11th to 13th, brought to life the story of Eva Peron, as told through the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber and the lyrics of Tim Rice.
Months of rehearsals, held across numerous venues, culminated in what the society described as an "absolutely incredible show." The audience experienced an "emotional rollercoaster" through Eva Peron's life, with the music mirroring her journey.
The production featured a large cast, a 16-piece orchestra under Musical Director Jimmy Brockie, and choreography by Stephen O'Rian. Liam Butler directed the show, which included sets, sound by Star Sound Systems, costumes by Pat McGann, and lighting by John Hurley of InFocus Lighting and Projection Design.

Kerry TD Michael Cahill says he is pushing to ensure the Killarney Innovation Centre secures the funding it needs for its planned expansion.

Deputy Cahill raised the issue in a recent Parliamentary Question to Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Peter Burke. The centre has applied to the Smart Regions Enterprise Innovation Scheme under Enterprise Ireland to support future projects.
Minister Burke told Deputy Cahill that the centre’s application will receive “appropriate consideration” and confirmed that Enterprise Ireland will assist the organisation in shaping proposals that match the aims of the scheme.
Deputy Cahill said the support would give the Killarney Innovation Centre “a first run to the ball” in identifying suitable projects that can attract national funding. He added that the centre has received strong Government backing for more than 30 years.
The Minister also noted that three other Kerry projects are progressing under the same national scheme, including a €1 million allocation for the AI Navigator Programme at the RDI Hub in Killorglin, which is designed to help small businesses adapt to artificial intelligence.
