Drama Legends 

Amateur dramatics have long been part of Athenry’s social life, since the 19th. century or perhaps even earlier.

The people of Athenry have been devotees of the stage, whether it be as performers or as an audience and as peoples tastes changed so did the productions. In this multi-media age live entertainment has perhaps lost some of its allure and the efforts of amateur dramatic societies are being taken for granted, which is regrettable considering our own groups long and eventful history.
