For almost 50 years the Engadine Musical Society have been lighting up the stage and entertaining large crowds with their various productions. Recently I attended the society's latest production, Shrek, with my good friend and the Member for Camden, Sally Quinnell.

It was a wonderful night and incredible show. The society has certainly come a long way since its first production of Mikado, in 1976. It now performs two productions every year, which is a big win for musical theatre fans in the Sutherland Shire. Since 1976, the society has put on a number of other shows including: The White Horse Inn; Oklahoma!; Anything Goes; The Merry Widow; The Sound of Music; The King and I; Cinderella; Oliver!; and Grease – to name a few. In the last few years productions have included: Freaky Friday; Wicked; Mamma Mia!; and fan favourite, Jersey Boys. The talent and commitment from all those involved in the production of Shrek was evident for everyone in the audience to see. I can't wait to see what other productions Engadine Musical Society will put on in the future. Well done again to everyone who has been involved with the society for the past five decades.
