2:24pm Friday 19th September 2008
THE Durham Musical Theatre Company will be celebrating its 100th birthday tomorrow with a dinner at the Three Tuns Hotel, Durham.
The society, which has 120 active members, was formed as the Durham Amateur Operatic Society and its first production was Gilbert and Sullivan's HMS Pinafore in May 1909.
The group performed for many years at the Garland Theatre, New College, and more recently staged productions at the Gala Theatre, where it will stage Fiddler on the Roof in March next year.
