Beacon Musical Society

Musical theatre

Beacon Musical Society Incorporated (BeaMS), formerly Eastwood Methodist Musical Society (EMMS) and then Eastwood Uniting Church Musical Society Inc (EUCMS) was founded in 1962, its first performance being The Gipsy Baron. This group grew out of the Eastwood Methodist Youth Fellowship (MYF) which in the early 1960s performed three G&S operettas. Since then, the Society has staged well over 120 productions, as well as concerts and religious plays, and has donated over $395,000 to dozens of charities nominated by members, including well over $114,000 to CCA to Eastwood Christian Community Aid. In 2025, EUCMS chose the new name of Beacon Muscial Society (BeaMS) to reflect our long history of being a welcoming light in the theatre world and our local community. We are always pleased to welcome new members into our ranks, including non-singing members who wish to participate as orchestral members, stage crew, lighting assistants, wardrobe assistants, décor assistants, makeup assistants or in any way help in the working of the Society.
