In common with similar venues across the world, the curtains came down on the Glen Theatre in Banteer just short of twelve months ago when the plague of Covid 19 began to engulf the country.
The popular north Cork venue is widely acclaimed for the quality of its dramatic offerings and the variety of top musical acts that have graced the stage over the past 24-years.
Theatre chairman Rory O Driscoll said that in March 2020 when the committee heard that the virus had entered the country, they decided to close ahead of the Government lockdown. We felt this was best from a safety point of view, because many of our clientele would be in the older age group and possibly more vulnerable, he told The Corkman.
