Carlow Little Theatre Society's busy Autumn line-up with drama and comedy

Carlow Little Theatre Society have announced a busy autumn drama schedule to close out the year and celebrate their 80th anniversary year.

The line-up includes a one-act season in early October, taking a play to the All-Ireland One-Act festival circuit, performing the renowned play GASLIGHT in the VISUAL on October 16th to 19th, an 80th anniversary, and the launch of a long awaited book to commemorate the society’s rich and varied history.

The season kicks off with the society’s autumn one-act series at the George Bernard Shaw theatre in Visual in Carlow, on Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd of October.

Both evenings promise lots of drama and comedy, with two plays on offer.

Taking to the stage will be THE LITHIUM WALTZ by Carlow writer Barry McKinley, which will also be Carlow Little Theatre's entry to the 2025 All-Ireland One Act festival circuit, performing at six festivals around the country.

This comedy farce, set in an American psychiatric hospital, and featuring hilarious lines and antics from its cast of colourful characters, was a crowd favourite when previously performed by the society in 2010, when it reached the All-Ireland Finals.
