Irish Theatre PlayersIrish Theatre Players were formed in late 1981 at the invitation of the “Irish Fleadh 1981 Committee”. The first production was Sean O'Casey's ‘Juno and the Paycock’ directed by one of the founding members, and first president, Bill Motherway, and performed at the Dolphin Theatre, UWA.
Today the Irish Theatre Players are one of the most successful, enthusiastic and passionate community theatre groups in Australia. Our aim is to promote and encourage Irish culture in WA. We produce on average, 3 major productions a year and a One Act season which usually consists of 3 or 4 One Act plays. We have been blessed with inspired and visionary leadership and an energetic, hardworking and dedicated committee. We would love for you to enjoy a great theatrical night out at our next show. We would be even happier if YOU were to consider becoming a part of the Irish Theatre Players team – on or behind the scenes! We are a friendly bunch and great craic is guaranteed. |
