Fremantle Stuff > organisations > Innisfail Amateur Dramatic Company
The Innisfail Amateur Dramatic Company, founded in 1893, gave performances and production of Irish plays, including several by Dion Boucicault, in order to raise money for community projects. 'Innisfail' is an ancient name for Ireland, and means 'isle of destiny'.
