Leitrim's Ensemble 32 fundraiser at St George’s Church next weekend
Music, storytelling and theatre to fill Carrick-on-Shannon venue across two special performances
A special fundraising event featuring music, storytelling and theatre is set to take place at St George’s Church next weekend as Ensemble 32 presents Stories in Place. Following the success of last summer’s Echoes in Stone, the group will stage performances on Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24 at 7.30pm, with proceeds going towards St George’s Church.
Presented by Carole Coleman and directed by Rhona Trench, the production will feature Ensemble 32 alongside the Leitrim Male Choir. The performances will combine music, poetry, theatre, local history and storytelling inspired by Leitrim, Roscommon, Longford and beyond. Ensemble 32 members Alla Crosbie, Edel Rowley, Siobhan Talbot and Mick Blake will also take part in the performances.
Organisers say audiences can expect “stories both funny and haunting, familiar and unexpected,” exploring themes of home, family, place and belonging. Tickets for Saturday night are already selling quickly, with Sunday’s performance offering an additional opportunity for audiences to experience the production.
Tickets are available through Eventbrite or by contacting [email protected].
