"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.
