Budding Actors Enter The Circle

Would you like to break on to the acting scene in Sligo? Well now your chance has arrived courtesy of the Sligo Drama Circle. The drama group has been entertaining people for over 50 years and has built up a strong reputation among the best groups in the county for emerging talent. Ursula Smullen will be directing a play called The memory of water” in May and is looking for a cast. An audition/reading will be held at 9pm on Monday, February 13, in the Drama Circle’s performance space in the Market Yard. She is especially keen to find two men, that can fit a description of ‘inadequate’.

As well as this, the Sligo Drama Circle are preparing for other performances. Coming shortly is a one-act play performed by Joan Fitzpatrick and Lionel Gallagher. Both have sang, danced and acted together and even have fitted in an odd film during their careers. This play, entitled Liz and Greg, is written by local man Ultan Burke. Joining them on stage will be Michael Leydon, Muireann Tobin, David Davey and Caroline Norris. The Youth Group, mentored by Peter Milne, are performing in the Factory Space in April and November. And right through the season, there are more one-act plays and watch out for special 50th birthday events.
