SUPPER THEATRE 2026

Monday 23rd November - Friday 27th November

at The Old Ground Hotel, Ennis

 

Ennis Players are delighted to announce the return of their hugely popular Supper Theatre, which will run for five nights from Monday 23rd to Friday 27th November 2026 at The Old Ground Hotel, Ennis. A firm favourite in the local calendar, Supper Theatre has sold out year after year, and audiences are advised to book early.

Kieran Martin, Chairman of Ennis Players says “We are absolutely delighted to be continuing with Supper Theatre again this year. It would not be possible without the loyalty of our audiences, the dedication of our casts and crews, and the wonderful partnership we enjoy with The Old Ground Hotel, for which we are enormously grateful”

The evening offers the perfect combination of fine drama and good food in the cosy setting of The Old Ground. The programme opens with two short plays, followed by an interval and then a One Act Play. A buffet supper will be served after the performances all included in the price of a ticket.

Ennis Players are very appreciative of all our wonderful Patrons without whom we could not bring our productions to the community.

SUPPER THEATRE PROGRAMME Nov 23rd to Nov 27th 2026 at The Old Ground Hotel

  • SECRETS is a short one act play based in a counsellor’s therapy room.
  • A BIOLOGY LESSON is a short 10min piece which won the recent Pint-sized play competition run by Knockerra Drama Group.
  • DADA is a 1-Act play by award winning author, Frank Houlihan. The story centres on two middle-aged, seemingly quiet and inoffensive spinster sisters.  The underlying humour in this dark comedy are hints and influences from a tragic past.
