Archie’s ability to interact with both the actors on stage and the audience is all the more remarkable because he isn’t trained.
The role of Annie in this niel Road junction, will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of the carriageway.
It is expected to be completed by Monday, August 28.
A series of road closures will take effect while the resurfacing is carried out. production is also played by four different girls because of the strains associated with over-performing. Not that it appears to matter to Archie, who is in the role at any given time.
“He’s supposed to run across the stage when the ‘dog catcher’ takes him, but if he doesn’t feel like running they carry him,” added Julie.
From next Monday, August 21, to Friday, August 25, a one–way closure of the country-bound lane will be in place from 9am to 6pm. On Sunday, August 27, a full road closure in both directions will be in place from 7am to 6pm.

You can catch Archie at The Mac up until this Sunday. in both directions will be in place from 7am to 6pm.
The Department for Infrastructure said the dates and duration of the road closures will be dependent on the progress of the scheme and on favourable weather conditions.
