Rehearsals are in full swing, costumes are arriving, and sets are en-route, as the cast prepares to bring the iconic musical to life.
"Excitement is building amongst KMS as we enter into our last few weeks of rehearsals, costumes are arriving, sets are in transit, and the cast are giving it their all as we edge ever closer to bringing Evita to life on the stage of the Gleneagle INEC Arena," says Orna Cleary O'Shea, PRO for Killarney Musical Society.
Becoming a patron of KMS is more than just financial support; it's about becoming a friend of the society and playing a vital role in its success and longevity. Patrons provide crucial financial assistance, encouragement, and advocacy, enabling KMS to maintain its high-quality productions and showcase local talent.
"A patron of KMS is first and foremost a Friend of our society, and plays a key role in ensuring the society’s success and longevity," Cleary O'Shea explains. "The generosity of our Patrons has allowed us to be in a position to attain stunning sets, colourful costumes, lighting, sound, orchestra and professional standard performances down through the years."
"We are on our last push for patronage for this year’s production of Evita taking place in the Gleneagle INEC Arena, March 11 to March 13, 2025, so there is still time to become a Patron of KMS," Cleary O'Shea adds.
Patronage costs €120 and includes two complimentary tickets to the opening night performance on Tuesday, March 11, a complimentary programme, and name or business listing.
Interested individuals and businesses are encouraged to contact Pam Brosnan, patronage coordinator, at 086 3344345 or pambrosnan49@gmail.com.
The deadline for patronage is Wednesday, February 26, due to printing constraints. Individuals, groups, friends, and families are all welcome to become patrons.
"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts as you continue to give us the opportunity to do what we love to do, perform on stage year after year as we take pride in delivering an amateur production with the highest level of professionalism to you, our audiences and supporters," Cleary O'Shea adds.

Tickets for 'Evita'are available only via Ticketmaster.ie or the Gleneagle INEC Arena at 064 6671555. For updates and news, follow Killarney Musical Society on social media.

The Kerry Education and Training Board (Kerry ETB) has been awarded €2.3 million in funding to purchase the former Pretty Polly site on Upper Park Road, Killarney.

The funding, announced this morning by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, will allow Kerry ETB to develop the site as a new Tourism Sector Training College. The proposed facility will focus on training for the hospitality and tourism industries.
Kerry TD Michael Cahill described the announcement as “a major vote of confidence in Killarney and the wider Kerry tourism industry.”
“This is immense news for the town,” said Deputy Cahill. “It will mark Killarney out officially as the tourism capital of Ireland by providing a Hospitality Sector Training College right in the heart of the county.”
Deputy Cahill said he had been advocating for such a development since entering the Dáil, adding that the investment “will be a gamechanger for the hospitality sector in Killarney and Kerry.”
He also recalled the former CERT training centre that operated at the Torc Great Southern Hotel in the 1970s, noting that this new project would revive that legacy for a new generation of tourism professionals.
The Pretty Polly site, vacant for many years, will now be transformed into a key educational and economic hub for the region once the project proceeds.
