Press Release - "Hello Dolly!"

Markinch Amateur Operatic Society’s next production, "Hello Dolly!", will be staged from 24th-
29th March 2008 at Markinch Town Hall. The show, made famous by Carol Channing on stage
and Barbra Streisand on film, is packed with well known musical numbers, including "Put On
Your Sunday Clothes", "It Takes a Woman", "Before the Parade Passes By" and, of course,
"Hello Dolly!". Coupled with some spectacular dance routines, magnificent stage settings and
colourful costumes, the show will be a sure fire hit.

Claire Owens, well known in Markinch and beyond for her character portrayals, plays the title
role with her usual infectious enthusiasm, teaming up with frequent stage partner Glen McGill
in the role of Horace Vandergelder. And as usual the Markinch production has attracted a fine
cast of other lead roles, chorus and dancers.

Markinch Amateur Operatic Society has become renowned throughout Scotland as a
dedicated group of enthusiasts who stage highly professional productions of well known
musicals. The group's vocals, dancing and stage settings are amongst the best to be found
anywhere. So don't miss what is sure to be a wonderful experience!

A message from our President, Ian Thomson:-

I hope that you will find something interesting in these pages and if you live within travelling distance of Markinch, perhaps you would consider joining the company.

Contrary to popular belief you DO NOT have to be a singer to join our group. Perhaps you would be interested in participating in acting, dancing, make-up, painting, stage crew work, lighting, costumes or one of the many other jobs which keep our show 'on the road'. Being involved in any capacity,  producing a show to present to the public gives us a great deal of fun and satisfaction and is an excellent hobby throughout the winter months.

If you require further information please contact Valerie Thomson, by telephone on 01592 758478 or email info@maos.org.uk
