About us

Corofin Dramatic Society has a long proud history of bringing drama to our community. Founded in 1950 we strive to live up to our constitutional aspiration of: “continually improving our dramatic standards”.

To this end, each year we participate on the festival circuit to help improve our productions. A major milestone occurred in 2008 when we won the Confined All-Ireland final with our production of The Beauty Queen of Leenane.

A long time ambition of many great past members, such as Haulie Lahiffe and Bridget Fitzpatrick, was achieved in 2012 when we tread the boards of the Dean Crowe stage in Athlone with The Subject Was Roses, directed by John Clancy. We were placed 3rd that year, no mean achievement for our first appearance.

We have qualified for the RTÉ Open All-Ireland four occasions: By the Bog of Cats in 2013, The 39 Steps in 2015, The Cripple of Inishmaan in 2017, and Big Maggie.

We have also been active participants on the one-act circuit down through the years winning the One-Act Confined All-Ireland finals in 1993, 2012 and qualifying in 2023.

An active, friendly group we welcome new members, regardless of experience level and would love to hear from anyone interested in getting involved.
