Under the auspices of the Amateur Drama Council of Ireland and with Mountmellick Credit Union as the main sponsor, the festival is also part of RTE’s 2017 All Ireland Drama Festival.

First up on the schedule, this Friday, March 3, is an old John B Keane favourite – ‘The Field’. This is produced by the Amphitheatre Company from Clare.
On Saturday it is the turn of the Glenamaddy Players from Galway and their production of ‘The Bog of Cats’ by Marina Carr. The shows continue every night produced by groups from Dublin, Naas, Cork, Nenagh, Galway, Clare and Cork.
