Award winning Castlebar Musical and Dramatic Society is currently in full rehearsal swing for its production of Fiddler on The Roof, which will be staged in the Royal Theatre, Castlebar, over three nights from Thursday December 3 to Saturday December 5. Last year the society leaped to success with its production of Oklahoma and received the AIMS Award for Best Actress in a supporting role which was won by Donna Ruane for her unforgettable portrayal of Aunt Eller.
