This is my second time year with Musical Theatre Dublin and I had an even better time than the first!! Everyone was so lovely and fun to work with and they picked an amazing show to put on. I did two sessions this year. Despite having smaller roles in comparison to the first I enjoyed this one just as much if not more!! MTD remains to be the best place to form new friendships and I’m so happy to have been able to work with everyone and create an amazing show. Ciara M.
