A CAT judge made the comment that “Parkes M & D is certainly punching above their weight in quality of productions”.

For Director Lyn Townsend the biggest highlight was the collaboration of members of the society, working cohesively and co-operatively in the production of three successful productions, while welcoming many new members to the theatre family.
