Events

Enchanted Croí Theatre is delighted to facilitate the beginning of “Strokestown’s Youth Theatre” in 2025, as part of Cruinniú na nÓg.  The theatre will pilot this year, geared to create, for two different age groups: 9-13 year olds and 14-18 year olds, each group will be limited to 20 young performers.

Over 6 weeks, participants will engage in theatre workshops, to prepare a devised performance entitled “Making Myths and Shadows”, which will be a special Cruinniú Late event, in celebration of our local community and its talented young people. 

Central to this project is the collaborative creation of a devised theatre-piece, drawing inspiration form local mythology and storytelling, where the youth ensemble will infuse these timeless narratives from a contemporary perspective, with opportunities to explore movement, dance and song. 

The workshops and creation of the new theatre-piece will culminate in a performance for Cruinniú Late 8pm on 7th June, at Strokestown Ballroom in The Percy French Hotel, which has kindly been donated for use by hotel management.
