This was a great achievement for our first visit to the All-Ireland Open Finals. Tuesday night saw the 19th and final performance of ‘Out of Order’ in Gorey Little Theatre, with the Raffle proceeds of €1000 going to The Hope Centre Enniscorthy in memory of our dear friend Con Doyle, the group has decided to match the €1,000 with proceeds from ticket sales.
As we bid farewell to a play that has taken Ballycogley Players on their most memorable journey to date, the group would like to thank all those who helped make our journey successful, a special mention must go to our director, Pat Whelan, our main sponsor Hidden Hearing, all our sponsors and Raymond Doyle who generously provided his vans to transport the set. Finally to you our ever loyal audiences, we hope the near 5,000 of you that saw “Out of Order” enjoyed it as much as we did.
