The Schoolyard Theatre Events
The Schoolyard Theatre is a community-based establishment. It aims to provide a space where people can come together to appreciate and participate in the Arts. Since it was opened in 1993 The Schoolyard Theatre has made and continues to make an enormous impact on the cultural lives of the community, not alone in Charleville, but in the wider North Cork /South Limerick areas and future afield. It has contributed greatly to heightening people's awareness of their own culture through the plays written by Irish authors and staged at the theatre, and that of other lands by visiting groups.

Declan Got Talent
Event Date: November 2nd 2024
Time and Location: From 8pm at The Schoolyard Theatre, Charleville, Co. Cork
Fight2Flight Theatre’s latest offering is Declan’s Got Talent: a new dark comedy for two actors by Peter Gowen. We see Declan trying to prepare for his upcoming audition on a talent show, but there is someone else there. And as Declan tries to silence this other voice we are dragged back into East Cork/West Waterford in the late Sixties. A story of Declan attempting to enter the Church, cope with his infatuations and watch him triumph over this negative friend.

The multi award-winning play written by Belfast playwright Marie Jones is one of the most successful plays to come out of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
The hilarious one man show tells the story of fear, prejudices and misunderstanding as a Protestant civil servant's life is turned upside down when he faces the nasty underbelly of football sectarianism in the run up to the 1994 World Cup. Shoestring award-winning actor, William Lyons, under the direction of Kevin O'Shea, will take on the role of Kenneth McAllister and has the daunting task of portraying a whole host of characters.
Tickets €17.50 + Booking Fee No Refunds.
