Popular Cultural Companions initiative extended

Due to popular demand, Cultural Companions - The Diary Entries from the Hawk s Well Theatre will run for an extra week in conjunction with First Fortnight Festival. With public health restrictions keeping everyone locked down for extended periods, Hawk s Well Theatre s popular Cultural Companions initiative has come into its own! Cultural Companions was an initiative set up in 2019 with the aim of providing increased opportunities for older people to engage with Sligo s vibrant cultural and arts scene by setting up a network of people who would accompany each other to cultural events at the theatre. With the 2020 pandemic closing the theatre for most of the year, and the fact that older people cocooned alone during lockdown, the Hawk s Well was inspired to revisit the project, acutely aware that connecting with and supporting each other in new ways became more important than ever before in 2020.

The deadline for recordings was last Sunday, after which the Hawk s Well will make one glorious Sligo Sings Christmas 2020 video which will be released online before Christmas. On Thursday 10 December at 6pm the theatre presents a streamed performance of A Christmas Carol from Livin Dred. This family-friendly performance is available to watch for 36 hours.
