The lovely people of Waterford Youth Arts are staging Brecht's infamous Happy End (a sequel to The Threepenny Opera) in Garter Lane Tues 28 August - Sat 1 September, 8pm.Tickets: €12 (€10 concs), group rates available. There's a special preview night rate of only €7. Not to be missed and a great night for everyone! For more info check out https://www.facebook.com/events/410726705650109/ or https://twitter.com/HappyEndPlay

"Set in the gritty streets of 1920s Chicago, Happy End tells the tale of an unlikely love affair between a virtuous Salvation Army worker and a hard-boiled gangster. This steamy musical pairs Bertolt Brecht’s biting and witty social satire with a thrilling score from Kurt Weill and with some of his most popular show tunes, Happy End later became the source for the well-known musical Guys and Dolls.
Happy End is directed by highly acclaimed Jimmy Fay who has a string of hit shows to his credit. In recent years he has been associate director with the Abbey Theatre and has directed the work of Sam Shepherd, Roddy Doyle, Mark O’Rowe and many others. He has also directed the hit commercial comedy shows based on Paul Howards’ Ross O’Carroll Kelly character.
With the band El Higado No Existe live on stage throughout featuring Kevin Power, Joe Meagher and friends, expect a musical with a difference as they bring a 'Tom Waits' feel to the night. Featuring 20 local teenagers from Waterford Youth Arts with choreography by Trish Murphy and video and set by Neil O’Driscoll, the show will have an energy, a sense of fun and biting menace. Happy End packs a political punch closing with a song in ‘tribute’ to the rich and powerful of this world."

Hi guys!

The debut play- 'Click' by Dublin born writer Michael Collier begins it run at The New Theatre, Dublin 2 from November 12th to 17th 2012.

Click is witty yet poignant story of two lifelong friends just trying to survive.

On a fishing trip to Croatia, Pauly and Jacko, stroll through a field when Pauly hears a click. Panicking that he has just stepped on a defective land-mine left over from the war he stands rooted to the spot afraid to lift his foot. As they wait for rescue talk turns to life, love, limbs, why Pauly's wife cheated on him, how Jacko discovered his ex-girlfriend's little secret and what it means to be a modern man. As the hours pass not only are their lives in jeopardy but so is their friendship as buried secrets threaten to destroy everything.

Written by Michael Collier
Directed by Caroline FitzGerald

Starring: Aidan Crowe & Ciaran Kennedy

Ballycumber Amateur Drama Group will perform ‘Canaries' by Bernard Farrell on Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th January in Ballycumber Hall at 8pm and in Tuar Ard Arts Centre, Moate, for four nights from wednesday 30th January - Saturday 2nd February.

'Canaries’ is arguably Farrell’s funniest play with three Irish couples travelling to the Canaries on a package holiday in a bid to escape their everyday surroundings. Everyone arrives in the happiest of colours and the best of form, however things soon start to go wrong, with hilarious consequences, as the weather isn’t what is expected and the holiday makers end up having a holiday that they will never forget but not necessarily for the right reasons! It’s a very Irish play about a very Irish group and the audience will recognise a few characters they have come across on their own holiday experiences!

€10 / €8

Conerstones is a New play being put on in smock alley Sunday 3rd march.

My daughter is playing lead with only 3 other characters involved, It revolves around Kiera: a 16yr old shoplifter from the inner city, with dream of making it big on x Factor, Having left home she ends up in a squat in Dublin city centre and passes her day shoplifting and doing ''favours'' in exchnge for cash for up and coming stock brokers in ISFC.

She is introduced to a shady scumbag drug dealer who starts to manipulate her into doing the same ''favours'' for friends but instead of cash gets smack as her reward.

The director originally put on a 20 min piece last year and has extended the script to a full play. It really is hearthbreakingly funny, smoothered in flat dublin accents, and inner city wit. The director really believes this piece can go on the road and hopes to have it staged in new york later on in the year if she can get funding etc.....

My daughter is just finishing a full time course at the Gaiety school of acting, so if you wish to support young Dublin-Irish acting talent then you got to make your away along to this hard hitting,funny story of what the city can do to a young gutsy Girl.

Tickets are 10e, pm if you need more details.
