Celebrating More Than 50 Years of Drama in Sligo

 

 

Sligo Drama Circle has a proud tradition in producing a wide variety of drama over the years since its inception. Productions have ranged from the staples of the Irish canon to the best in American and international theatre. However, because of being situated in the heart of Yeats Country it is not without surprise to find that Sligo Drama Circle has produced almost all of the plays of W. B. Yeats. The following is a list of the plays produced over the years:
