Welcome
I am delighted to welcome you to our Sept-Dec season.
I hope you can join us as we’ve got some fantastic performances for you over the Autumn months.
We open our season with our 25th anniversary celebrations. It’s hard to believe that we have reached this milestone and I look forward to welcoming you all to our Open Day in September. We have a number of in-house productions for you this season. The Body of Bobby, written by local playwright, Gary Breslin, took the top prize in our recent Paul Diamond New Writers Award and we are very much looking forward to hosting its World Premiere here on our stage in October. It’s set in Derry in the 1980s and I know local audiences will enjoy its dark humour and witty writing.
Our panto this year is Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs. Once again, we have a cracker show that all the family will love, so I can’t wait for you and your loved ones to make those special festive memories with us.
As usual, there’s plenty of fantastic live music on offer with the return of Billy
Ocean, David Essex, Phil Coulter and Paul Brady, amongst others. Irish favourites, Onoir and Picture This are both back later this year, with Picture This already sold out, so, if you’ve been lucky to grab tickets for those, then you’re in for a real treat!
If comedy is your thing, then we’ve got lots to keep you laughing over the coming months with the Cat Laughs Festival in September, Andrew Ryan in October, Fintan Harvey in November and Emer Maguire in December, plus lots more.
For the classical fans, we have the incredible Ballet Ireland’s stunning production of Romeo & Juliet and the Ulster Orchestra back with their ever-popular, The Magic of Christmas.
Looking ahead to 2027 and I’m thrilled to host the anticipated return of the hit West End musical, Dirty Dancing. This incredible show was a big hit with our audiences the last time we hosted it and I’ve no doubt that tickets will be in huge demand for it this time around.
As always, thank you for your continued support; without it, we can’t continue to bring you these world class productions. I hope you enjoy the new season.
