glór

glór Dance, music, theatre, film, visual arts, comedy and more in the heart of Ennis.

Every day we witness how theatre, dance, music and visual arts impact individuals, and we strive to break down barriers to create a welcoming, inclusive and positive space that everyone can enjoy. glór is a multi-disciplinary arts centre located in the heart of Ennis, Co Clare, housing a 505-seat theatre, a 60 seat Studio, a gallery, break out spaces, and a café. In addition to hosting local, nati

onal and international events (music, theatre, talks, festivals, dance, film, comedy, and visual arts), we also provide a welcoming space for community groups, families, and vulnerable members of society to meet and access the arts. In 2022 we celebrated 21 years in operation presenting over 300 performances and 9 visual arts exhibitions from local, national, and international artists as well as over 55 community groups. We endeavour to remove hindrances that prevent people from accessing the arts, support Clare artists so they can continue to create artistic works, and provide a space for community groups to meet.IN 2019, GASP (glór Arts for Schools Programme) helps over 1800 schoolchildren annually access the arts by reducing some of the financial obstacles in attending daytime performances at glór through subsidising tickets and transportation costs. We also run programmes that provide financial and creative support to artists in Clare – glór Associate Artists, Artists' Residencies, Bursaries, development space and times, commissions and and co-productions of work. Our Mission: To advance arts education in County Clare through the establishment of a national centre in Ennis Co. Clare specialising in the performance of Irish music and related educational activities.

NEXT WEEK - Don Stiffe, Ger O’Donnell & Trevor Sexton🎤Sat 5 Sep | 8pm

The combination of Don Stiffe, Ger O’Donnell and Trevor Sexton, three powerhouses of Irish vocals is one of the most exciting things happening in Irish music in recent times.

Don Stiffe is one of the greatest singer/songwriters to have emerged on the Irish Folk Scene in recent years, receiving critical acclaim and awards both at home and abroad. Ger O’Donnell is a true multi-instrumentalist, known best perhaps for his voice and mastery of the acoustic guitar, but also for many other wonderful and unusual instruments and studio production. Trevor Sexton has become a highly sought-after performer. A phenomenal songwriter too, with hits like Fairytale topping the charts in Ireland and spreading all over the world!

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND✨ SIX:Teen Edition | Thur 10 Sep

SIX: Teen Edition is a high-energy, pop-concert musical featuring the six wives of Henry VIII, who transform 500 years of historical heartbreak into a "HERstory" celebration of 21st-century girl power. The six queens - Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr - compete to determine who had the most difficult life with Henry VIII.

The show is a modified, age-appropriate version of the Broadway hit designed for young performers all aged between 13 - 19 years.

This amateur production is presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.

TICKETS ON SALE NOW ✨Undercurrent presents Earthfall 🌍Wed 16 Sep | 8pm

A gripping high energy show, Earthfall weaves dance theatre and circus with cultural dances from Zimbabwe, Brazil and Ireland.
Trapped in a Kafkaesque realm of incomprehensible rules, with boundaries and schedules that change without rhyme or reason, four people explore how to survive an endless limbo. A young girl is watching. How much of what she witnesses are her own nightmares and how much reality? Together they find pathways that lead them deeper into the restricting maze until their connection to each other brings strength to bend rules and break walls.

Showcasing outstanding Irish and international contemporary and cultural dancers, Earthfall is at once an explosive celebration of cultural diversity and a heart wrenching reflection on the consequences of borders and inhumane immigration policies.
