SligoWE'RE BUILDING A THEATRE IN SLIGO
Since the early days of this century Sligo has
had one of the finest traditions in Amateur Drama
in Ireland, ‘The tradition is carried on to-day by
the Drama Circle who each year produce a season
of plays which give ample evidence of the vitality
of the arts in Sligo.
The need for a permanent Theatre has been
felt, for many years now, and the Drama Circle
have been working towards the day when
“A Theatre for Sligo” would become a reality.
A great stride towards that goal was taken
when, in February this year, Bishop Dominic
Conway announced his intention to present a site
for the theatre to the Drama Circle.
This magnificent site is a perfect garden
setting alongside the two Cathedrals. It is worthy
of a theatre which will grace this already lovely
old town.
We aim to make it so — a theatre of great
beauty — to serve the whole community of our
region; a Theatre which will give pleasure to all
our population and to the many visitors who come
each year to our Summer Season
It will be a Theatre which will be a source of
pride to many Sligomen living abroad who cherish
their native town.
i
For the students of our schools and col!
and for those who come from all over the world
to the Yeats International Summer School, it will
provide a valuable addition to the existing
educational facilities.
Already, Sligo people, both at home and
abroad, have enthusiastically supported this
project’ and funds are coming in to ensure that
within a short time, Sligo will have a Theatre of
its own.
If you like the idea of a community co-
operating to provide a beautiful new theatre, or
if Sligo has a special place in your heart for any
reason, do please help in this project.
You'll find a tear-off slip on page four —
please attach it to your gift (any form of personal
cheque, in whatever currency, is welcome), and
mail it to help build a Theatre for Sligo.
