Drama Workshop for Macra
ENTHUSIASTS of amateur, and indeed professional, drama who are members of Macra na Feirme might interest themselves in a 2012 workshop. ‘Dramatic Choices’ will be a workshop designed for Macra na Feirme members who would like to develop such skills and talent.
The workshop will cover selection for, participation in and competing in Macra’s Drama competition. Places are limited to 20 for ‘Dramatic Choices’. It will take place on Sunday January 8 in the Abbeyleix Manor Hotel in Co. Laois. You can email [email protected] for more information.
Writer Kevin Egan launched an affectionate memoir of his life lived in Limerick, ‘I Remember Well’, at Leamy’s art gallery and Frank McCourt Museum. The 75-year-old calls it “a nostalgic boyhood recollection of not only a Limerick, but also an Ireland, long since gone”.
