BrokenCrow Theatre Company are delighted to be Theatre Artists in Residence in Garter Lane Arts Centre again for 2024.
Having found our feet as Artists in Residence at the Arts Centre in 2023 we are proud to have the opportunity to increase our presence in 2024.
The residency is incredibly important for BrokenCrow as a place to explore, play and develop as we recover from our busiest year yet. We presented an ambitious programme of new work nationally in 2023, debuting at The Everyman, Cork and Peacock Theatre, Dublin in February (Our Tethered Kin), and producing two new plays (The Settling and Found) at Cork Midsummer Festival and Clonmel Junction Festival.
“The residency is a wonderful opportunity for the company”, says founder member and Tramore resident, Ronan Fitzgibbon. “A number of us are local, or have made homes in Waterford and the South East over the years, so to be supported by Garter Lane for a period of creative development here really feels like a sort of homecoming. There’s such wealth of talent and theatre history here, we can’t wait to be part of its future”.
Having focused on development in 2023, exploring company projects The Forest Dreams Us and As Was, and in developing other writer’s new work by hosting a pair of Play Clinics which saw us working with eight writers on their new projects, we are hoping to share more of our work with the public in the coming year.
BrokenCrow are: Deirdre Dwyer, Ronan FitzGibbon, George Hanover, Gavin McEntee, Rosie O’Regan and Aideen Wylde.
