More than 400 performances will be staged at the Town Hall Theatre next year, coinciding with its 20th Anniversary.
According to the City Council – which operates the theatre – the line-up will include an extensive mix of theatre, concerts, musicals, dance, film, comedy, family and community shows.
The Council’s Senior Executive Officer for Arts and Culture, Gary McMahon, said: “This is the flagship venue in the West of Ireland, and will be celebrating the 20th Anniversary of its opening on February 1.
“We’re looking forward to a gala night in what is a mainstay of cultural and artistic life in the city. The Town Hall Theatre continues to welcome the whole spectrum of artforms, from world-class performers to local drama groups and pantomimes.
“In 2016, the Town Hall Theatre will continue to be at the epicentre of Galway’s cultural activity including the city’s major international festivals such as Cúirt, Galway International Arts Festival, Galway Film Fleadh, Subtitle Film Festival, Junior Film Fleadh, Baboró Children’s Festival and Music for Galway Mid-Winter Festival.
“Productions from Galway’s own Druid, Decadent, Little John Nee, Fregoli and others will play a critically important role in the venue’s programming and audience development strategy.
“And as well as many visiting national and international companies and artists, the venues’ programme proudly features the work of a host of (professional and amateur) performers, companies, award-winning musical societies and arts organisations from across the city and county.
“The mission of the Town Hall Theatre is to engage and develop the widest, most diverse audience possible for an eclectic programme of theatre and arts events in Galway and provide a supportive environment for artists and arts organisations,” said Mr McMahon.
