This is not a fundraiser!  Ticket price covers stage hire and production costs only (even at that, we will not break even!).  This is a night for the community to enjoy. 

Spot prizes, generously donated by local businesses, will be given out by Marty on the night.

Complimentary tea/coffee will be served.  There will be a tuck shop with water, minerals etc.

Parking is in the Bus Park at the back of the school or in Green Glens Arena (thanks to Thomas Duggan for use of this).  Please note that the car park at the front of the school is reserved for staff and invited guests only.

Tickets are available in Cronin’s Centra, Coleman’s Centra, O’Keeffe’s Supervalu, Reen’s Pharmacy, Millstreet Post Office, O’Leary’s Butchers or from the School Office (029) 70087 or online at Eventbrite (€5 off full price online sales until Sunday!):
