Welcome to our website

Masquerade is an award winning amateur drama group founded over ten years ago and based in Arklow, Co. Wicklow.  Our members are from all walks of life and ages but share a common interest which is a love of the stage.

The Masquerade season runs from September to March, with meetings, rehearsals and performances held in Arklow. We usually present a number of one-act plays in November and a full length play in February/March in addition to regular involvement in drama festivals.  We also arrange a number of social events throughout the year.

We welcome new members, so if you are interested in any aspect of drama, whether it's directing, producing, acting, backstage, front of house, make-up, lighting, sound, set design or just a general interest, please let us know via the Contact Us page.

We look forward to seeing you at (or in) our next production!
