About Ballyduff Drama Group
It emerged out of the local rural tradition of scoraíocht and story-telling but was given a formal presence from 1945 onwards when the new St Michael’s Muintir na Tíre Hall was opened in Ballyduff. This new facility enabled the presentation of formal drama productions, the development of high quality stagecraft and, over the years, facilitated Ballyduff Drama Group to become one of the finest amateur drama groups in the country.
Along the journey of the last 40 years or thereabouts, there have been many on-going friends and vital resources. Like the hall in Ballyduff, once a basic community hall, now a venue with facilities and services capable of hosting any top-class theatrical production. Like a generous array of supporters, particularly its core audience base from West Waterford and East Cork. Like the volunteer casts and crews who have soldiered diligently in the pursuit of theatrical excellence. Like its sponsors and financial supporters who have over the years helped to keep the ship afloat.
