A flyer of an autumn Moat programme

With several of the new season productions at the Moat Theatre in Naas already sold out, the autumn/winter season is off to a flying start, writes the theatre's Aoife Brennan.

Upcoming shows include include Nine on Culture Night 2019, The Good Father in October and the theatre's annual Panto, always a sell-out spectacular — this year it is Aladdin and rehearsals are already underway.

Local theatre companies Nomad Players presents Invisible Women this weekend on 14 September, and Cill Dara Drama Group stages I Do Not Like Thee, Dr Fell. Touring theatrical productions to watch for include God Has No Country about Kerry’s Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty, and a hit from Edinburgh Fringe 2018, Class.

Local and national musical acts such as The Fureys, The Druids, Saoirse Casey, Celine Byrne, Dublin Gospel Choir, Jack Lukeman and Patrick Hyland are all performing at the theatre this season.

The Count and The Tenor presented by The Celtic Tenor, Matthew Gilsenan, features the music and story of the legendary Count John McCormack on 28 September.

Other events include BeeGees and ABBA tribute acts, No Limit Wrestling, art exhibitions by local artists and Naas’s Tuckmill Gallery, and monthly Movies at The Moat with Wild Rose, Can You Ever Forgive Me, and the Singalong version of Elton John’s Rocketman. Children are very well catered for with the 10th anniversary show of Jackula, National Treasure Bosco, and Christmas favourites Panto Club and Smash & Grab.

Martina Shannon of Dross Evolution had relocated to the theatre for her Summer Camps and is going to continue her Saturday sessions there for the autumn. Drama lessons for children and teens with Mary Power Cooney’s Theatrics, Brian Brady Youth Theatre and Rachel Lally take place. Groups such as Cuidiú, CEOLA, a Creative Journal club and a Gaming group all meet weekly.

There is the weekly Naas Country Market every Friday, and The Moat’s Art and Craft Market takes place on the second Sunday of each month. Pop in for a coffee and chat, and pick up the new Calendar of Events!
