EASY ACES
On Saturday the 19th of May, Irish band, Pilgrim St perform at the Hawk’s Well Theatre.

Johnny Gallagher and The Boxtie Band return to GIlroy’s Bar Enniscrone on Friday, May 18th. Don’t miss your chance to see this fantastic group in action this weekend.
Following on from their successful adult acting programme Sligo Acts, the Hawk’s Well Theatre will be presenting a series of summer lunchtime theatre episodes of the old time radio sitcom favourite, Easy Aces. Witty, light and small enough to fit into the average lunch break, this celebration of the golden age of radio is scheduled to take place at 12.45pm on three dates over the summer; May 16th, June 27th and July 25th. Lunch will be available in the theatre foyer from 12.15pm and each performance is typically forty-five minutes long.
