Great mix of music and a heart-warming play at Backstage Theatre 

Backstage Theater is set to host great talents combining music and a heart-warming play in the coming week. 

Michael Ryan and Sean Kelleher of the brilliant HubCap Theatre Company present their hilarious original comedy ‘The Parish’ at Backstage Theatre Longford on Friday, September 8, at 8pm. 

Set in an everyday rural community, The Parish is an energetic comedy featuring two actors who bring to life characters that can be found in every town and village in the country. 

Performed with a minimal set and supported by a rich soundscape, The Parish deals with themes of conflict and treachery but ultimately celebrates the bonds of friendship and community that overcome all adversity.

Tickets for The Parish from HubCap Theatre are available on 0433347888 or backstage.ie.

With a playlist that suits every age, Route 66 Big Band comes to the stage promising a triumphant return to Backstage after an unforgettable reception during their previous visit. 

Route 66 Big Band flawlessly recreates the masterpieces of music legends like Glenn Miller, Van Morrison, Joe Dolan, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, and Tina Turner, among many others. 

Their sensational performances have left audiences raving, with comments like “I can’t wait for this band to come back, they were truly fantastic, great show” and “It was a great show, great music, class”.

No matter your age, Route 66 Big Band guarantees an unforgettable night of entertainment that promises to leave you dancing, singing along, and craving an encore.
