THE MIGRATION PROJECT WITH RACHEL WEBB
This series of six art workshops for children aged 8 - 12 starts on Tuesday 19 th September at the Glens Centre in Manorhamilton, each session running from 5.30 - 7.30. Looking at how and why birds and people migrate into and out of Ireland, the similar and different reasons for leaving home to travel to a faraway place, we will be watching short videos, playing games, making bird masks, models, paintings and video. Although the participants will learn about bird migration, and about why people from other countries come to live here, the emphasis will be on fun and making things.

Traditional music legends Mike McGoldrick, John Doyle and John McCusker perform together at the Hawk’s Well Theatre on Thursday the 14 th of September. The trio first crossed paths as teenagers. A quarter of a century later, the fired-up folk live-wires are set to celebrate their friendship, and musical kinship, with their first studio album, The Wishing Tree.

HOW’S YOUR FATHER
It’s the hilarious brand new comedy play from the cream of Irish comedy! Father and son team, Conal and Rory Gallen have written probably their funniest comedy play to date! “How’s Your Father?” is a non-stop, laugh a minute riot of craic, confusion and constant laughter!
A B&B! A Landlady! A Priest! A Jockey! A Mystery! Bridie Murphy opens Bridie’s Boutique B&B, much to her husband Willie’s bewilderment! “This is a B&B which has to be seen to be believed!! - Tripadvisor” With their young, confused neighbour, Dick, having some family problems, Bridie steps in to help! There’s only one thing for it! Bring in the Priest! Which only serves to make things even more confusing!! It’s a side-splitting tale of love, deceit, mystery, bad food and a bit of “How’s Your Father” thrown in for good measure! Conal and Rory are now recognised nationwide as two of the most talented writers in Irish comedy today.
“How’s Your Father?” will be in winging its way to The Hawks Well Theatre on Friday 15 th September .
