Cork

Ireland has a rich culture that, along with its people, has been exported around the world. Ireland, in fact, has two cultures: the historical Gaelic culture and the more recent English-speaking culture which largely replaced it. It can be worth digging a bit deeper, to learn about the older world that lies beneath. It is a world still living, though not always visible. Some Irish history has been very dark indeed, but it remains a land of poets, story-tellers, and musicians, with marvellous scenery, an advanced knowledge economy, first-rate infrastructures, and leading industries, with a high gross domestic product and standard of living. There are the megalithic tombs of Brú na Bóinne, older than the Egyptian pyramids, used as inspiration for some famous Celtic symbols that came later.

Ireland

The beating heart of theatre in Cork. 

The Everyman building that we know and love today has a very special anniversary this year having stood on MacCurtain Street for 120 years. It first opened its doors in 1897 and is a jewel of late Victorian architecture. It originally opened as a music hall and later served as a cinema.  Today The Everyman is one of the leading presenting and producing theatres in Ireland and is a vibrant cultural hub for the people of Cork. We aspire to be a beacon of inspirational storytelling and performance, to provide experiences which have the power to alter perspectives and make the heart beat a little bit faster.

The Everyman is a not-for-profit organisation. The theatre receives its primary funding from the Arts Council, with additional funding from the Cork City Council.
