It’s been called a bridge in the community, connecting people and inspiring the next generation. Speaking of inspiration, this theatre helped launch some of Ireland’s brightest stars. You see, Westlife’s Shane Filan, Kian Egan, and Mark Feehily all took their first steps to stardom right here, belting out numbers in “Grease” before forming a boyband that set hearts racing far beyond Sligo.
And there’s more than just music and drama-the Yeats Summer School brings poetry-lovers from all over, while the Sligo Fun Company fills the building with young voices and laughter. The seats, by the way, were due for a fresh upgrade as the theatre approached its fortieth birthday. So, find your imaginary seat, and let the stories of Sligo take center stage!
