Welcome to the new look Portmarnock Musical & Dramatic Society’s website. We are a group located in North County Dublin dedicated to the performance of Musical Theatre and Drama. We are affiliated to AIMS and The Drama League of Ireland.
Every year we stage a Musical, normally during Easter Week and a Play in November. Other activities include Pub Theatre, Cabaret, an annual talent competition called Stars in Your Eyes, which happens in September and other fund raising events such as Table Quizzes, Fashion Shows and Car Boot Sales.
There is no upper or lower age limit for membership. Normally, if the show allows it, we always try to include children in our Musicals.
