The annual Summer Soiree will
be held at Hurleys this Saturday (July 24th) at 7pm. Its a BBQ and
weather is not a factor as there are facilities for having it indoors.

taxi contact Mary Hurley at
086 3259780 for
details. Also phone for directions.
Please bring your own drink!!
Looking forward to a good attendance.

Our
production of J B Keane's 'The Chastitute' was a resounding success.
I want to thank our cast for their excellent performance, our
patrons for their positive reaction and Bridgewater administration
for a very successful venue. The long months of rehearsals were well
worth it. I have to say that the craic during rehearsals was
fantastic. Long may it continue. We are now looking forward to our
November production.

"The
Chastitute" production is going to be great. The craic at rehearsals
is mighty. We are looking forward to presenting it to the people of
Arklow and surrounding areas.

Hi
Yvonne, Just wanted to pass on my congratulations to Kevin, Ross,
Stephen and all in Masquerade on the success with "Pillow Talk" in
Bray. Fantastic result. Sorry I couldn't get up to Bray to support
you all. I was in the West End watching some Plays and Musicals
(these are plays with songs in them HA HA!! ) . Keep up the good
work. Regards Rob Donnelly |

In relation to the photos of a Christmas
Party on the website, I think they should be taken down for the
following reason: In this depressing economic climate it is very
upsetting for "Joe Soap" to find such signs of happiness and good
cheer on any website. These photos ooze warmth, conviviality and a
sense of camaraderie that is not in keeping with recessionary times.
They are quite obviously "posed" by
"actors", I mean just look at the Chairman!
Who could be that happy and full of
the joys when all the world is poor ????
Well done
to Masquerade actors for such scenes of enjoyment and long may you
continue to pretend that we can be happy despite the recession.

Hey all,
Well, as you may or may not have noticed I didn't return to Arklow
after my trip...! I've moved to Limerick and all is great but I
haven't joined another drama group yet- it's going to be hard to
find as great a crew of people as you guys. Great drama, good laughs
making it and the apres rehearsal and apres play analysis will be
hard to beat!! Just wanted to say best of luck with the one acts,
enjoy and hope you get good crowds. Hopefully I'll make it up for
the next play and have an ol' catch up;) Take care xd

"Red
Roses & Petrol" came up smelling of...........well.. Roses ! Well
done to all. Hard work and commitment are the order of the day with
Masquerade and a good mixture of talent onstage, front of house and
behind the scenes. It was my pleasure to work with you all.
It was a good move to improve on those raffle prizes !! I think
everyone appreciated it. Hope it reflected well in the takings !
And where would we be without this website. It really gels the
group, keeps us up to date with all the activities. Keep it up
