OSKARS NIGHT

This Easter Saturday night April 20, there is only one place to be and that is at Kilkerley Emmets big Oskars Night takes place in Carrickdale Hotel with Darragh Maloney of RTE as M C. Adm €25 and 8.00pm start. Tickets available from Vincent Litchfield, Kevin McEnteggart, Richard Mulholland, Grainne Corrigan, Seamus Bellew, Martin Quigley, Joe Crawford, Adrian Conlon, Roisin Duffy. A huge thanks is due to our main sponsor Kilsaran and indeed to all the sponsors that are kindly sponsoring all the Actors and Actresses. Without all of your sponsor ship this event would not succeed. It wouldn’t succeed either, without the Actors and Actresses who have given up so much of their time over the last 6 weeks to rehearsing their Plays, along with getting sponsorship and ticket selling so a huge thanks to them. Roll on Saturday in Carrickdale Hotel a night not to be missed. There is a huge demand for tickets so make contact without delay.
