The response to our request for 10 Minute Plays has been fantastic and far beyond our expectations.

We have seen a great variety of plays, everything from comedy, tragedy, farce, horror and fantasy.To produce these plays we will require many actors so we invite you all to contact us if you would like to take part. Also if you know of anybody that would like the opportunity to try acting for the first time you might mention it to them. These plays will be of short duration so rehearsal time will be very manageable, exciting and fun!  Any interested parties are asked to send a quick email to dochasdramakillarney@gmail.com .

In the words of Napoleon Hill:

Don't wait. The time will never be just right.

 Brid Sugrue RIP

Tá si imithe uainn.

Ni bheidh a leithead ann aris.

It is with deep regret and sadness that we must say goodbye to our friend and longtime member of Dochas Drama, Brid Sugrue.

Brid passed away at lunchtime on Friday and though she had a long, active, fulfilled life, we are sad to see her go! We thought she would go on forever!!

She took part in numerous productions over many years. Her most recent role was as the mother in J.M. Synge’s play “Riders to the Sea” just a few years ago. Her sincere performance brought tears to many as did her role as Madge in Brian Friel’s “Philadelphia Here I Come”.

But it was not all tears – she made us laugh with her storytelling and quick wit. She had the famous Kelly gift that enabled her to use words that painted pictures and described incidents in a most descriptive way.

We extend our sympathy to Sheila, Joan, Brian and Breda, to her cherished and beloved grandchildren Gemma, John, Eva and Maitias.

We enjoyed a number of delightful performances with her and the very talented Gemma of whom she was so justifiably proud.

To Maureen, her daughter-in-law and her son-in-law, Joe and to all her nieces, nephews and family members we also extend our sympathy.

Removal from O’Shea’s Funeral Home, Killarney this evening, Sunday, June 24^th at 6 pm to the Church of the Resurrection, Park Road.

We will join the Guard of Honour.

Funeral to Gneeveguilla tomorrow, Monday following 10.30 am Mass.
