This Website is dedicated to the members both past and present for their involvement and dedication to the Group and is a celebration of the groups achievements since its foundation in 1972.
The website includes listings of the previous productions performed by the group, the latest production, photo galleries, history of the group and many more features. We would like to thank everybody for their contributions in generating this website and hope that you the viewer be you a current or past member or simply browsing, enjoy our compilation.
To date there have been approximately 30 productions completed between 3 Act Plays and 1 Act Performances. During their many years on the Festival circuit the group have performed in various festivals ranging from Ballyshannon and Shercock in the North to Doonbeg, Scarriff and Ballyduff in the South. In addition they are noted for their appearances in the Connaught Festivals such as Claremorris, Claregalway and Tubbercurry.
The group have qualified on a number of occasions for the  All Ireland Finals, originally in 1985 with their production of "Big Maggie" and most recently with their productions of "The Communication Cord" in 2000 and "Eclipsed" in 2002.2010 saw them participate on the Festival Circuit with Jim Nolans - "Moonshine". Despite taking a number of acting and presentation awards the group failed to qualify for the All-Ireland Finals which were held in Glenamaddy. However the show presented was thoroughly enjoyable and the group should be commended for the work they put into the production.
2011 sees a new festival circuit and the group are currently starting rehearsals for Brian Friels "Dancing at Lughnasa"
