 
Research & Text: James A McMahon Produced by Seamus Flynn  Welcome to "IF WALLS COULD TALK!" - the story of how a small Theatre transformed the cultural life of an Irish city. Theatres possess a special atmosphere that actors and performers recognise instantly. At rehersals, they clue into the spirits of the Hall, picking up on vibes and whispers of the past. Theatre deals with imagination; calling for what S.T. Coleridge describes as a "suspension of disbelief" between audience and performers. If Walls Could Talk! picks up those echoes. Actors and artists; musicians and politicains;camedians and clowns; each played a role in the drama. This is their story. This heritage site has attracted world-wide interest since its launch on the Internet by The Irish Minister For Education, Niamh Bhreathnach, on the 12th of April 1997. This web site was designed to be interactive. We have responded to your suggestions by including more photographs and graphic images. Thank you for your helpful comments and feedback.
