Now that we have all taken the time to catch our breath, we would like to thank all of the wonderful audiences that came to see our production of 'Noises Off' last week.

We always appreciate your support. The show may be over, but we hope the memories will live on.

A special shout out goes to our director Paddy Behan for his time, energy and vision for the production, and to Tadhg McSweeny (who was ably assisted by Vera Pigulevskaya) for his incredible set design and construction.

We would also like to thank Bryan Burroughs for his movement coaching, Ann Nolan (lighting), Richard Doyle (sound) and our terrific stage crew (Emma, Emilia, Zoë, Aoife and Paddy). Also, to Harry Shorthose for his input into the play.

We look forward to announcing some exciting One-Act and Full length projects very soon.

EDEN by Eugene O'Brien

Our sincere thanks to the lovely audiences that came to see our short run of Eugene O'Brien's 'Eden'. We always appreciate your support.

We'd also like to thank the staff at VISUAL Carlow for their continued support, and in particular Tadhg McSweeney, whose lighting and staging of the production was exemplary, as always.

We now turn attention to our next production, Noises Off, which comes to the stage of the George Bernard Shaw theatre this May.

3 KINGS by Barry McKinley

Updated 25th November 2024

A place in the One-Act, All-Ireland final proved allusive for us again this year, as 3Kings finished third in Tubbercurry.

Paul McManus did however, pick up the adjudicator's award for his role as Big Boy, which at least gives us the satisfaction that each of the three kings won awards for their respective performances on the circuit (Paul Dunne in Dublin and Jamie Dockery in Carrigallen). Special praise was also given to Paddy O'Byrne throughout our circuit run for his role as the guard.

We are naturally all hugely disappointed at coming so close to qualifying (one win, three second places and one respectable third place), but we can hold heads up high knowing that the whole cast and crew gave it their all in the more difficult Open section of the circuit this year.

We'd like to thank everyone that helped us on our festival journey over the past five weeks, including a very dedicated backstage crew comprising of Larry McNally, Zoë Sheriff, Regina Doheny, Emilia Kleczko, Damien Brett, and Emma and Ann Nolan, who travelled with us the length and breadth of the Country. Their commitment to the production and moral support along the way was second to none.

Huge praise must go to Mark Cradock for his sound design and to Joe Doheny for working his magic in lighting the play. We would especially like to thank Barry McKinley for believing in us and for allowing us to produce his work on the stage and of course, our director, Deirdre Fleming, who brought it to life and put her heart and soul into every moment. We salute you all!
