The show, which runs for two nights only on 22nd and 23rd of August, is brought to you In Partnership with Ulster University (Derry Campus), the school of Arts and Humanities, and UU's LGBT+ Staff Network and Dublin Pride.

The ‘BRIDGE - Stepping Up' performers deep in rehearsals for their June showcase.

They’ve been hard at work preparing excerpts from Cabaret, Chicago, Moulin Rouge and so much more. 🎭

From the producer of Not On Our Watch, and the writer of The Half Moon, 'Three Pay Days' is a searing portrayal of the human cost of austerity within a rigged social security system.

Over the weekend we were very excited to be part of the Yes! Festival 2024

We had brilliant international performers come and explore their own journeys as well as celebrate the infamous journey in James Joyce’s Ulysses.

Friday saw De Dora (Ioana Ofelia and Daniela Groza from Cluj in Romania) use song, film and storytelling to explore personal perspectives of immigration, longing and relationships.

Saturday saw our gallery transformed by The Uxío Novoneyra Foundation (from Lugo, Spain) to create a bespoke response to Lestrygonians from Joyce’s Ulysses. Using powerful movement, readings, dance and bread making they created a fantastically unique live experience.
