Our mission is to produce the best in Irish and international performance for Cork and Irish audiences. We aim to be indispensable to all of the communities we serve: audiences, artists, employees and suppliers, while remaining rooted in, and inextricably linked to, Cork. We work hard to support and enrich the cultural fabric of our country by delivering an ambitious programme in a beautiful venue that serves the audience of today and builds the audience of the future. Our beautiful theatre is a 650-seat listed building and a jewel of late Victorian architecture, which celebrated its 123rd birthday in 2019. The building possesses a rich and fascinating history and the stunning auditorium is a favourite with audiences and performers alike for its intimacy and atmosphere.
