There is tremendous excitement in musical theatre circles in and around Thurles following the announcement last night that Thurles Musical Society has secured the rights to the fantastic, and much anticipated, Michael Collins, a Musical Drama show which was written by the late Bryan Flynn of Waterford.

The announcement was made by Chairman Frank Tuohy at a celebratory evening to mark the Society's success with their 2018 show Ragtime which was named third best overall show in the country at the recent AIMS awards.

The story of Michael Collins, pictured above, has been arranged for musical theatre and will be featured by Thurles Musical Society in March 2019.
