As Killarney Musical Society prepares to celebrate its milestone 40th anniversary, the spotlight turns to Fossa native Shinann Buckley O’Sullivan, who will take on the lead role of Miss Sandra in the upcoming production of ‘All Shook Up.’

The highly anticipated show is set to take over the Gleneagle Arena on February 10, 11, and 12, marking four decades of musical excellence in the town.
Shinann is a veteran of the local stage, and this year marks her 11th year performing with the Killarney Musical Society. To prepare for this significant production, she has been honing her craft at the Killarney School of Music, attending vocal lessons with Sorcha O’Connor and traditional music lessons with Padraig Buckley. Her dedication to her musical education has been a key part of the intensive practice and hard work that has gone into making this year’s show a reality.
In ‘All Shook Up,’ Shinann plays the role of Miss Sandra, the beautiful and intellectual caretaker of the local museum. Known for being bookish and sophisticated, Sandra initially appears aloof compared to the other townspeople as she searches for a partner of culture and substance. Shinann has expressed her delight in portraying such a fun-loving and unapologetic character who knows exactly what she wants.
 Those looking to support the local talent and celebrate the 40-year history of the Killarney Musical Society are encouraged to secure their seats early. Tickets for the three-night run are currently available for purchase through Ticketmaster or directly from the Gleneagle Box Office.
