About Dural Musical Society
Dural Musical Society is a non-profit community theatre company located in the rural area of Dural. We are passionate about bringing the magic of theatre to our local community. We have been producing shows since 1972 and have produced over 100 shows so far. Our team works tirelessly to produce high-quality performances that entertain and inspire. We aim to create a space where people of all ages can come together to experience the joy of live theatre. Through our carefully curated productions, we strive to make a meaningful contribution to the cultural life of Dural and its surrounding areas.
We perform at Dural Soldiers Memorial Hall, a beautiful heritage facility built in honour of those who served in the Great Wars.
If you are attending one of our shows and have special considerations that require an aisle or front of house seat we ask that you please make the front of house staff aware upon your arrival, or make prior arrangements by contacting us by phone or email. DMS Management reserves the right to reserve certain seats for specific purposes – e.g. Patrons with a disability, large groups and VIP guests.
Many of our regulars look forward to the famous “DMS raffle”. At each show we sell raffle tickets, proceeds from which help finance our shows. There is no obligation to purchase tickets.
Show tickets are generally available at the door in limited quantities, but popular shows do sell out many weeks in advance.

Safeguarding Children
Dural Musical Society is committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people involved in its productions. The safety of children and young people is paramount, and all committee members, production teams, cast members, and volunteers are responsible for supporting their inclusion, supervision, identity, cultural safety, rights, and voices at all times.
We strive to create safe environments where children and young people are meaningfully involved in decisions that affect them. All committee members, production teams, cast members, and volunteers understand their responsibilities in identifying and reporting any suspected child abuse or neglect to the appropriate authorities. Mandatory reporters acknowledge their duty of care to report any concerns regarding the safety of a child or young person. Child safety is everyone’s responsibility.
