The Palace Theatre Fermoy
The Palace Theatre has a long and cherished history as a space where people can experience the artistic endeavors of local, national and international acts.
The theatre is no stranger to plays and other theatrical productions.
The Nobel Laureate Playwright and Actor Harold Pinter once tread the boards here as a young man in a series of Shakespearean plays.
Local productions such as Take Fives ‘Letters to Lucy’ and ‘Little Gem’ have been welcome additions to the prestigious catalogue of work that has been performed in the Palace Theatre over the years.
The Palace Theatre has played host to shows both big and small, plays, pantomimes, comedy and music gigs. It is a universal space which can easily be conformed to whatever use it is needed for.
Our theatre is an excellent amenity that we are very privileged to have and would be the envy of any town or city in Ireland.
The Palace Theatre Facilities also include three dressing rooms which are available to be used for all productions taking place in the Theatre.
Dressing room one is located stage right and is accessible from both the stage and the auditorium.
Dressing Room two and three are located upstairs and stage left. Both dressing rooms are accessible via an external stairway so movement from stage to dressing room is seamless.
The theatre has been host to many a musical thanks to the Fermoy Musical Society which was founded in 1924 with their first performance of Gilbert and Sullivan’s ‘Trial by Jury’.
The Musical Society has gone on to annually produce classic musicals such as ‘Oklahoma’, ‘Guys and Dolls’, ‘Crazy For You’ and ‘ My Fair Lady’.
