Solpadeine Is My Boyfriend is about a new Irish generation. They were promised everything; a life of financial stability and job security but they now find themselves queuing either at the airport to emigrate or the social welfare office to sign on. They feel entitled not to experience depression, economic or personal, and the availability of over-the-counter medication allows them to numb both. The show received rave reviews and extensive interest from around Ireland and abroad and was nominated for two abSoLuT Fringe awards in Dublin 2012.

Keith barry is back, bringing his brand new show The Dark Side. Following on from his sold-out 8 Deadly Sins tour, Keith’s new show will be his most controversial to date as he explores everything that encompasses ‘The Dark Side’. Keith will take the audience on a theatrical rollercoaster ride where they will participate in astounding feats based around the occult, ouija boards, remote viewing, past life regression, and unspeakable acts. He will open the door and invite the audience with him on this journey of exploration - are you brave enough to step through the door and journey with him? unlike Keith’s other shows, people can attend without the fear of being pulled on stage, as only the brave souls who volunteer will join Keith onstage. If you scare easily, then quite simply ‘Don’t come alone’.

The Ronan Collins Showband Show which has been a complete sell out right around the country for the past 3 years, returns. once again, there is a terrific line up. RTÉ’s Ronan Collins is host and will also sing his Tribute to Joe Dolan, and much more. The show also features Dickie Rock, Mark Leen, The Conquerors, DJ Curtin, Lorraine McDonald, Tommy & Jimmy Swarbrigg, bringing it to an exciting finale with an all-cast salute to the Showband era.

Des Keogh, one of Ireland’s foremost actors and entertainers, returns with his hugely successful and award-winning show.

It tells the story of John bosco McLane, a bachelor of ‘indeterminate’ age and according to his own assessment, ‘past his best’ and evidently still a virgin. McLane’s amorous adventures range from the hilarious to the pitiful.

John b. Keane ranks among the great Irish writers. His plays include Sive, The Field and Big Maggie. His ‘Letters’ series of books were a spectacular success, with The Love Hungry Farmer being particularly outstanding.

Theatrecorp’s seventh classic production is a tight, visceral ensemble version of Measure For Measure.

This play, rarely seen in the west of Ireland, has sharp parallels with today’s world. Dressed in formal black and white, the actors create the repressive atmosphere of Vienna where sex is allowed only within marriage, after the Duke’s deputy re-establishes a law, and condemns a young nobleman to death who has made his fiancee pregnant.

Theatrecorp has been performing world Classics in Galway and on tour since 2004. Productions of Faustus, Waiting For Godot, Blood Wedding, The Maids, The Human Voice and The Glass Menagerie have received great acclaim.

coSÌ Fan tutteCharming, witty and provocative, Così fan tutte is filled with beguiling arias and iconic ensembles, and explores the vagaries and vacillations of young love.

In Mozart’s tale of temptation and seduction, two young men make the mistake of boasting about their perfect lovers. Don alfonso spots a chance to make some money and claims that all women are fickle, wagering that these ‘constant fiancées’ can be easily seduced. Filled with wry comic wit and irreverence, by the time this vivacious, intriguing opera ends, Mozart and his librettist Da Ponte, have spared no one.

In her oTC debut, Irish director orpha Phelan directs a vocally luminous cast in Mozart’s sublime romantic comedy. Sung in english, the six piece oTC touring ensemble is conducted by andrew Griffiths. Design is by Madeleine boyd with Lighting Design by aedín Cosgrove (PanPan).

The powerful cast includes Irish soprano Mairead buicke (Fiordiligi) & mezzo soprano Martha bredin (Dorabella), with Colette Delahunt singing Despina, Sune Hjerrild as Ferrando, owen Gilhooly as Guglielmo and Simon wilding playing Don alfonso.

Johnny mceVoy an evening of nostalgia

northern Ireland, 1979: nuala Kelly takes no prisoners. a tough nine-year-old living with her mother, brother and grandfather, she thinks the class bully is just a big baby, and that all the nuns are cranky old wrinkled up cronies. She loves Thin Lizzy and The undertones - just like her big brother, oran. He’s fifteen and thinks he’s Casanova. nuala thinks he’s more like Jesus; she’d do anything for him. but what she does one day for her brother, no-one could ever have imagined…

Set in a prison ten years later, Grenades is a compelling drama that has at its heart the bruised innocence of nuala, who must re-live the events of her childhood and finally make sense of them all.

Johnny Mcevoy has always been highly acclaimed for his excellent concert shows and his forthcoming visit will be welcomed by his legion of fans.

This nostalgic evening of ‘Song and Story’ features all of Johnny’s many ‘Hit Songs’.

His songs are haunting, evocative and beautifully presented with many in the folk and ballad style.

Have you ever made a spectacle of yourself? walking the tightrope of life, jumping through hoops, bending over backwards to please, there is pageantry in everything we do. Inspired by life and the extra-ordinary of the everyday, Pageant celebrates the performer in us all.

Dancing to a powerful score with music from bowie to Ravel, Pageant’s stellar cast of seven professional dancers will delight audiences with their passion and pathos as they weave an exhilarating journey from choreographic mayhem through to military precision. Served up with a side order of humour, this show is not to be missed.

David bolger and Muirne bloomer together have choreographed opening Ceremonies for the Special olympics, The Ryder Cup and the ueFa europa League Final.
