So - like Frank Sinatra - we are back for one more last performance.
KMH at 8pm on Tuesday May 24th.
We have been given the opportunity to raise funds for a local charity - Saoirse Training Centre in St Aidans, Gorey.
The curtains have closed on the performances at the RTÉ All Ireland Drama Festival. The nine participating groups entertained audiences across the country before bringing their best performances to Athlone for the culmination of the 2022 ADCI Full Length Festival Circuit. Each of the groups and their communities can be very proud of their achievements.
Now we wait with bated breath for the final verdict of adjudicator, Michael Poynor, who will announce the results at the Gala Awards night tonight in Athlone.
For those not in attendance, the results will be live-streamed - youtu.be/BdHzF2-fxrs
