Really looking forward to performing Dead Man’s Bells again, which was the runner up in the All Ireland One Act Festival and winner of the Adjudicator’s Award for Best Ensemble. Thanks to the winners of the festival Millrace Drama Group for inviting us to act alongside them with their play Dancing at Lunacy this Sunday evening in Mullagh Hall. Any of my local friends who didn’t get the opportunity to see either of these plays, now is your chance!

We are so pleased to have won the All Ireland finals in Ballina. Thank you for your well wishes and your congratulations. If you missed the play, there will be a chance to see it this Sunday in Mullagh Hall. We are also thrilled to announce that our friends from Navan Theatre group, who were runners up, will join us with their brilliant production of Dead Man's Bells. A great evening of theatre not to be missed.
