Barnstorm Theatre Company launched the Adult Drama Club in October 2007 to provide local people the unique chance to explore, investigate and create theatre. With the resources of Kilkenny’s professional theatre company behind the club, this really is an exciting opportunity to join a vibrant and dynamic programme of both training and performances, as well as theatre visits and reviews, new writing and more. The idea for the club came about through strong demand from the public. Barnstorm asked previous training participants about their areas of interest and received a tremendous response. It became clear that a regular theatre space dedicated to giving local people the opportunity to debate and create theatre, increase their theatre skills and meet new faces, was really needed in Kilkenny. 

ADC 1 became the Barn Owl Players and produced its first full-length play in the Watergate Theatre in December 2008. BOP meets every Thursday night from 7.30-9.30pm.

A new Adult Drama Club (ADC 2) was launched in Sept 08 meeting each Mon 7.30 - 9.30. In April 2010, and after 18 months involved in all aspects of theatre making and producing Shorts and Anything But Peig... the members of ADC2 have merged with the Barn Owl Players. 

There will be a new Adult Drama Club in September 2010

Coming next:

Barn Owl Players present their first One-Act Festival of Theatre from 14th - 15th and 17th - 18th June in The Barn.
