1. The Dramatic Art Society was formed on March 15, 1963 by a small group of young but enthusiastic people who happened to be broadcasters, journalists, musicians, drama lovers and writers. Tuan Haji Ibrahim Ma, also an enthusiast in performing arts, was elected the first President of the Society.
2. The Society made its debut performance at the former Kuala Lumpur Town Hall in 1965, barely two years after its birth. That first stage shows “The Thunderstorm” is a famous classic and a household word among the Chinese-educated. The performance received thunderous applause from the audience, signalizing a new chapter was about to unveil after the storm and the flash of lightning.
3. The Society’s role was further expanded. Besides scouting for more talents and staging more shows, including the much appreciated musical “Princess Han Li Bao”- the Society has also been successful in facilitating the entry of other cultural groups into the circle of performing arts. By combined efforts, the teams (including those from China, Singapore and Taiwan) have been able to provide the audience with a unique blend of entertainment – be it drama, Cantonese opera, radio/TV show, dance performance or the art of “cross- talk”.
4. In line with the government’s call to promote healthy cultural activities, the Society in 1980s initiated a move to celebrate National Day by holding a “Drama Festival”. The call received an all-round support from many organizations which were also co-sponsors of this grand event. The Society has also been participating in a lot of charity events organized by other groups.
5. Home is where the heart is. The Society’s dream came to fruition when it acquired the “D.A. Theater” late last year, costing RM 350,000, a step closer to one of its aims to set up its own modern, well-equipped theatre to accommodate and serve to the performing artists. However, due to financial constrain, the Society still needs a substantial sum of money to update the theatre’s equipments and facilities. The Society is confident that with the generous assistance from the government and well-wishers, it will be able to make a more valuable contribution to the local arts and cultural scene.
6. Looking back to 61 years ago, the Society’s unrelenting efforts, dedication and commitment in promoting the country’s performing arts have been a sharing of experience and inner reflection.
