Siamsa Turns 40
Whatever the weather over the coming months, Siamsa Tire can guarantee a lively and eventful season of events from April to August to tempt you into its Theatre and Arts Centre in Tralee.
This year, Siamsa Tire celebrates a very special anniversary with the National Folk Theatre staging its 40th Summer Season from April 25th to September 30th including some of its most popular productions in recent years, Tearmann, San Am Fado, Oilean and Clann Lir.
Whilst the focus of Siamsa's programme at this time of the year turns towards the activities of The National Folk Theatre, it also has a wide range of other artforms and performances. Drama, contemporary dance, traditional music and performances by local groups, as well as a full programme of visual arts events complete the line-up.
Traditional Music events are a focus throughout the coming months kicking off with a Music Network tour featuring Maeve Donnelly, Peadar O'Loughlin, Ronan Browne and Sean Corcoran on the 13th of May. The enchanting Karen Casey and her golden voice grace the theatre on Friday 22nd of June, followed by Seamus Begley and Jim Murray on the 29th.
Rex Levitates, the renowned contemporary dance company, makes a return visit to Siamsa on the 27th of April with their latest offering, The Same Jane & Cross Purposes.
Local groups, as always, form a key part of Siamsa's programme, and this season is no exception. Tralee Musical Society presents The Wiz from Sunday 15th to Saturday 21st of April and the Oliver Hurley School of Musical Theatre stage Musical Moments from the 4th to 6th of May.
The Gallery at Siamsa will be a constant hive of activity over the coming months, with In Pursuit curated by Maurice Galway continuing until the 5th of May, and the fruits of a younger generation of artists from Brookfield College and Tralee Community College will be on view throughout May and June. George Dugan presents his take on the landscape of West Kerry in July, and Tralee Art Group stages its annual exhibition in August.
