Thy Dear Father

Sligo Drama Circle will make its bow to the public on Sunday night next 18th November, with its presentation of “Thy Dear Father”, a three act play, by Gerard Healy. For weeks past the cast taking part have been actively rehearsing, and a really high class performance may be confidently expected. This play has an Irish background and the interest of the audience is sustained to the final moment. Further performances will be given on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the 19th, 20 and 21st November. The play will commence each night at 8.30pm sharp. Seats may be booked at Keohane’s Newsagency, Castle Street. Charges of admission are 3s (reserved) and 2s. Profits will be devoted to St. Anne’s Church Building Fund. Production is by Walter Mc Donagh, and the members of the cast are Joe Mc Morrow, Eddie Mc Dermottroe, George Molloy, Patrick Dooney, Adelaide Hay, Mary Mc Givern, Sadie Maguire, Marie Mulvihill and Jo Lappin. Most of these are well known to Sligo audiences from previous stage appearances.
