RTÉ ALL IRELAND DRAMA FESTIVAL
Under the auspices of the Amateur Drama Council of Ireland
RTÉ ALL IRELAND DRAMA FESTIVAL 2024
After a successful 2023 Drama Festival that exceeded all expectations with a record number of attendees, it is now time to start planning for the 2024 Festival. We are holding our next AGM in November 2023, date to be confirmed, at the Radisson Blu Athlone Hotel. We will discuss how we can build from the 2023 Festival and look ahead to the 2024 Festival.
We currently have a limited number of volunteer vacancies to fill and we welcome new members to join us for what will be an exciting programme of events. If you love the theatre and are local to Athlone, please come along and see if there’s a role that interests you. We welcome people of all ages with a range of skills and experience.
To get an idea of how past events went you can browse through our website and social media, and look at our picture galleries and updates as they happened. We set the bar high in 2023 and we want to delight audiences at the Dean Crowe Theatre and our Fringe events creating a buzzing atmosphere in Athlone in 2024.
