DRAMA IN CASHEL
An old photograph has been found with some of the earliest actors who brought drama to the people of Cashel.
It includes Jenny Cashlin, Peg Mulvihill, Paddy McGrath, Bridgie Skelly and Pat Gilmore.
It’s wonderful to think the spirit and inspiration those people generated 100 years ago has flowed down the years to the present group of actors we have who work hard all winter to bring outstanding plays to us.
