The Men’s Group visited the Gate Theatre for a tour of the venue.
Our guide, Community Engagement Manager John Taite showed around and told us the history of the Theatre. We also heard about the programmes they run for youths and for the local community and schools, getting people to engage and rediscover going out to watch a play.
We had a tour of backstage and the auditorium which laid in the more unusual Traverse style with the stage being in the centre and the audience on both sides, being able to see across the stage at each other.
We have fun activities and take exciting trips each month. Ages 55+ can join, just email us at mensgroup@ozanamhouse.ie or call us on (01)8742804.
