For 75 years the Matamata Dramatic Society has entertained its community while also training generations of performers and crew. Memories will flow at the upcoming celebration event and fundraiser for the Waikato-based society's significant anniversary. Two of the members heavily involved in the big night are Greg Dunn and his daughter Helen Drysdale-Dunn, who grew up on the stage and went on to win Waikato Younger Singer of Year Award 2020. Lynn Freeman talks with Greg and Helen, and first asks what the Dramatic Society means to Matamata after all these years. The Matamata Dramatic Society's 75th Anniversary Celebration & Fundraiser is on at the Pepper Street Café on 26 November.
