St. Michaels
Theatre is a community based arts centre serving the New Ross district
and surrounding areas. The Arts Centre provides the following facilities:
- A 320 seat
theatre
- 2 visual
arts spaces
- A cinema
- A coffee
shop in the morning
- A 50 seat
studio venue
- A bar during
evening performances
There are approximately
300 events each year, comprising everything from drama to film to
ballet to rock concerts and much more. However, St Michaels
is more than just a venue, for example:
- We run a
very successful Youth Arts programme comprising of Ross Rock School
and Reel New Ross. We started the first Rock School for teens
outside of Dublin and young people learn how to make films here
and then premiere them on our own screen.
- We are the
only Arts Centre in the South East with a stage big enough to
stage large ballet productions.
- We are the
home to three amateur community based theatre companies:
- New Ross
Musical Society
- New Ross
Drama Workshop
- New Ross
Pantomime Society
- We host Charity
Coffee Mornings throughout the year.
- We have the
only professionally run Community Art Gallery in the South East.
- The annual
AIMS Choral Festival is held in the theatre each year.
- We run a
programme of art house foreign language films for young people
in conjunction with the IFC.
- We also host
special screenings of classics for those who can remember them
the first time around, also in conjunction with the IFC.
- We host exhibitions
for the Active Retired whose members are voluntary stewards in
the theatre.
And on top of
all that we have a team of friendly, enthusiastic and dedicated
staff who are the envy of the arts world. St Michaels is the
only arts centre to be awarded the Excellence Through People Award
for Customer Care and Human Resource management.
