Welcome to our brand new season of events for Spring/Summer 2015. We have another fabulous line-up for you this season, with plenty to keep you entertained throughout May-August. Patrick Kielty joins us in April while there is more comedy with DARA O’BRIAIN in April/May for what’s set to be four sell-out performances. Comedy is featured heavily this season with KEVIN BRIDGES and ALAN CARR both returning to the delight of their many local fans. We are thrilled to be hosting a number of events as part of the City of Derry Jazz Festival again this year during the May Bank Holiday weekend; our venue will play host to numerous events over this vibrant festival weekend, including jazz pianist and vocalist, JAMIE CULLUM, who headlines this year. Music fans are well catered for this season with the return of THE HIGH KINGS in May and ‘American Pie’ singer, DON MCLEAN and Irish troubadour, CHRISTY MOORE, both in June. Younger audiences will enjoy the magic of the popular children’s story, THE ELVES AND THE SHOEMAKER, which will captivate imaginations in May, whilst HORRIBLE HISTORIES
will give a unique and fun history lesson in June.

There is drama with the arrival of Alan Bennett’s Olivier and Tony Award winning play, THE HISTORY BOYS, in May. We are delighted to bring this critically acclaimed play which was also voted the nation’s favourite play in a recent national survey. Our headline show for this season is the much anticipated musical, MAMMA MIA! which arrives to our stage for the very first time, direct from the West End. Based on the songs of Abba, this smash hit show has already broken box office records throughout the world and we are looking forward to what promises to be one of the highlight events of the year. I would like to thank all our patrons for their support throughout the year and also our sponsors, who contribute greatly to our business. I hope you enjoy our new season.
