The Theatre
The Simon Ryan Theatre is a modern 360 seat Theatre featuring ‘state of the art’ facilities for the performer and the audience. It was opened by the Taoiseach Mr Bertie Ahern TD on May 5th, 2001.
Theatre Bar Situated on the 3rd floor adjacent to the balcony, the theatre bar has a wide selection of beverages. The bar is open to patrons half an hour before the performance and during the interval. Why not use our Pre-Order/ Pre-Pay Theatre Bar service? Bar staff will be happy to take your order on arrival at the theatre to avoid interval delays and queuing, so that you can have your drink waiting for you at the interval. |
