The Murphy family invites you into their occasionally functional home to celebrate the holidays in rip-roaring style.

When the family's eldest daughter brings her American boyfriend back to Ireland, she promises him the perfect Irish Christmas. When they land, she finds much has changed since she left for New York - her parents are barely talking, a mysterious man has moved in, her grandfather is licking walls, and there's a miracle baby on the way.

Get ready for an uplifting musical packed with laughter, friendship, fabulous music and plenty of dancing!

When nightclub singer Deloris Van Cartier is placed in protective custody in an unexpected convent, her arrival turns the lives of the nuns upside down — and transforms their choir into something truly spectacular.

Featuring a talented cast of local teenagers from Curragh Community College, this production celebrates young talent, community and the joy of musical theatre.

Dead Asset is a dark comedy/drama that asks: How do you find out who’s guilty when nobody is innocent?

Four criminals are thrust together to guard a high-profile hostage. However, when things start to go wrong, this dysfunctional crew’s already frayed relationship descends into something altogether darker and more dangerous.

Philo is a powerful and darkly funny play by Peter Sheridan, brought to life by the outstanding performances of Neilí Conroy and Niamh McGrath. Based on a “real person”, it follows the story of Philo — a resilient, sharp-tongued Dubliner who has endured a lifetime of hardship but refuses to give up when her family’s future is on the line.

Set against the backdrop of Dublin’s inner city, this moving and often hilarious production explores friendship, survival, and hope in the face of adversity. Both heart-warming and heart-breaking, Philo is an unforgettable theatrical experience that will stay with you long after the final curtain.

Leave the kids at home and get ready for Sinderella — an outrageously cheeky adults-only panto packed with wicked innuendo, madcap comedy and plenty of laughs you definitely wouldn’t hear at a family show.
