We are delighted to announce that we are back in Dalkey for this special year and the Harold  Boys School on Patrick Street  have kindly given us rehearsal space on our usual Tuesdays and Thursday 7.30 pm -10.30.

We are actively looking for new members as well as encouraging past members who have not been active with us lately to come back on board. New members does not mean just actors, but anyone interested in Production, Backstage, Lights, Sound, Set building, Costume, Design, Hair and Make up.  No experience needed as you will learn as you go.  Maybe you just want to be part of a group for the social aspect….the bit of craic at rehearsals and the theatre trips to professional productions as well as supporting all our fellow groups in the locality.

With this in mind we held a Meet-up for prospective members in July .We met for coffee in the Tramyard Café in Dalkey and nine people came and we had a very interesting time. There were at least 8 more who could not attend so we will be repeating the Coffee morning on Saturday August 22^nd at 11 am.  It is a chance to meet some of the current members in an informal setting and learn about what it is like to be one of us. Please email us if you want to come. dalkeyplayers@gmail.com
