History
Founded in 1964, Thomson-Leng Musical Society was originally established for employees’ of D.C. Thomson & Co. Ltd. as an opportunity for the workforce to gather together and have fun in staging musical productions. It has grown and changed over the years, certainly changing from what was founded.
The original Society changed from being exclusively for DC Thomson employees’ firstly to include family members of the employees’ to become a Musical Society that welcomes members from the general public.
Over the past four decades the Society has experienced a great deal of change and transition. Many production personnel have come and gone along with the membership changing over the years.
One of the biggest changes was the creation of the Youth Music Theatre in 1998. This both revolutionised and increased the workload of both the committee and cast . Today the Youth Music Theatre continues to grow and develop and currently has a youth membership of over 100 cast (February 2012).
The Society produces one main musical production each year along with other various event held throughout the year.
