Please Take Your Seat for a Great Experience

We’ve been having the best Craic in Coalisland since 1996, and that’s all we ever wanted—to have a bit of fun doing what we love: putting on shows. If someone asks us what Craic is all about, we usually say that we’re dedicated to promoting skills and providing opportunities for young people in the performing arts—acting, singing, dancing, set and costume design, lighting design, make-up, and more.

But we do all of this with great enjoyment. It might seem like we don’t take ourselves too seriously, but nothing could be further from the truth. We approach every production with a professional attitude that would rival any professional theatre company. Anyone who has attended one of our shows can attest to the high standards we set for ourselves. And that’s part of the fun—bringing top-class plays and musicals to Coalisland and beyond.

Serious fun!

Our venue is designed for comfort, creativity, and craic (of course)! 🎭

Step into our spacious auditorium, boasting 198 plush, luxurious seats that guarantee you’ll enjoy the show in style. With tiered seating, every seat has a perfect, uninterrupted view of the stage, so you can sit back, relax, and get lost in the magic of live performance.

Before the show, why not pop into The Watering Hole, our cosy bar in the foyer, stocked with a range of drinks to suit every taste. Whether you’re after a crisp pint, a glass of wine, or something fizzy for the kids, we’ve got you covered! The bar opens an hour before each performance and stays open during the interval, offering the perfect spot to catch up and unwind.

Our foyer isn’t just for drinks and chats! It also transforms into a handy meeting space for up to 40 people, ideal for smaller events and gatherings. Need something a bit more intimate? We’ve got a dedicated rehearsal room that’s flexible enough to host meetings or group activities for up to 20 people.

And for all the dancers out there, we have a state-of-the-art dance studio, fully equipped and ready for rehearsals, workshops, or even performances.

Whatever the occasion, Craic Theatre is the place where creativity and community come to life. See you soon!
