Description
Cardiff Municipal Musical Society provided musical theatre programmes for children, older people and those with disabilities. The Society existed from 1943 to 1993. They were charged with preparing and putting on performances for the public and providing opportunities for those who love drama.
The Society had showcased a variety of performances in their time and so had printed many theatre programme booklets for their productions.
This item is a programme for 'Annie Get Your Gun', which was performed at the New Theatre in Cardiff between 18-23 March 1968.
The programme includes:
- A list of the Society’s leaders, including Alderman E C Dolman J P (Lord Mayor of Cardiff), H Ferguson Jones and Captain J N Rose;
- The photographs of the production directors (Margeurite Thomas and Peter Rocke), the musical directors (Edgar Watkins and Gladys Johnson) and the members of the cast (Jim Thorne as Colonel Wm F Cody, Norman Jones as Sitting Bull and Bill Mannings as Major Gordan Lillie);
- A list of the Society's previous productions including 'The Mikado' in 1945, 'Rose Marie' in 1953 and 'The New Moon' in 1961;
