In 1998 Barnstorm in partnership with ten local communities, presented Strollers, on village and town greens/squares throughout the county. It consisted of an open air performance of The Selfish Giant, a fairy tale by Oscar Wilde, preceded by a grand entrance parade and followed by a grand exit! The production included adults and children (including many from the Youth Theatre) from specific communities in Kilkenny. The communites also hosted a range of events to compliment the play. Strollers took place in Graiguenamanagh, Callan, Inistioge, Castlecomer, Ballyragget, Freshford, at Kilkenny Castle, Kells, Gowran and in Jenkinstown Wood.
