SUMMARY:JUMP!?
DESCRIPTION: Tuesday 17th – Saturday 21st October @ 8.00pm\n\nJUMP!?\nWritten and performed by Pauline O’Driscoll\nDirected by Karen Minihan\n\nA Middle-Aged\, Coming-Of-Age play.\nRaunchy\, Hormonal Comedy \nRecommended age 16+. Adult Themes & Sexual References. \nMonica is on the edge\, literally! She’s had enough\, of being nice and reasonable and sensible\, not to mention her temperamental fffing washing machine. She wants to scream and shout. She wants more! \nA searingly truthful\, but delightfully comic leapfrog through the taboo minefields of puberty\, menstruation\, fertility\, infertility\, the pressure on women to reproduce\, the choice not to\, fertility treatments\, middle aged sex\, vaginal atrophy and the hunt for the perfect cocktail… of hormones. \n“Something has to change… to jump or not to jump that is the question!”\n“Am I mad?… No! I’m hor-mental!” \nConsummate actor Pauline O’Driscoll is best known on screen for Mustard\, Sisters\, Smalltown\, The Young Offenders and on stage for solo plays Seven Ages of MAM which she co-wrote and You Have It All Backwards both of which had sell out runs at Cork Arts Theatre. Jump!? is Pauline’s first solo self-penned play. \nWriter and artistic director of Playacting Theatre\, Karen Minihan has an extensive back catalogue of projects ranging from small\, intimate\, innovative productions to large\, all-inclusive\, community spectacles. She is also author of the book & subsequent show Extraordinary Ordinary Women\, which she and Pauline continue to tour to the many corners of West Cork and beyond. \nWhat the critics say about Seven Ages of MAM: \n“MUST SEE SHOW… wondrously inventive … hilariously detailed … O’Driscoll can call down the angels in a light high tessitura – a whisper away from silence\, and she can … roar like a banshee. …….. master of pause and sudden tangent\, the surprise monologue\, the squirm of embarrassment\, the language of love and forgiveness and letting go. What O’Driscoll brings even more than humour is sudden abiding grief. And what she gets more than grief is life-affirming humour\, and what she gets most is utter exhaustion … No\, she’s of a piece. This is consummately acted\, wholly believable\, the most original riff on the Seven Ages I’ve seen … in short\, SEE IT” – Simon Jenner\, FringeReview \n“The audience hung on every word and went willingly on a roller coaster ride of emotions masterfully orchestrated by Pauline O’Driscoll … a terrific show\, funny\, heart-rending and jam-packed full of relevance and social commentary … a powerful\, beautifully nuanced\, mesmerizing performance”  – Denis Walsh\, Listowel Advertiser \nTickets: Preview €10\, Standard €15\n*Booking fees apply.\nDiscounts available for students and groups of 6+. Please contact Box Office. \n \nThis production is part of the Creative Empowerment Award supported by Cork Arts Theatre and The Community Foundation Ireland.

SUMMARY:Off the Meter\, On the Record
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 10th October @ 8pm\n\nOff The Meter\, On The Record\nA play by John McDonagh\nA comedic glimpse into 35 years behind the wheel of a New York City yellow taxi\, Off The Meter is a pithy social commentary from New York’s most recognizable cab driver about life spent behind the wheel. John McDonagh\, veteran radio host\, has condensed thirty-plus years of activism\, reality show antics and observation into a love song to the city that never sleeps. \nFrom the plight of the NYC homeless to the crazy demands of Upper East Side matrons\, McDonagh brings the audience from laughter to tears and back again faster than the apparition of umbrella dealers on a rainy day. Throw in his tales of brushes with the rich and famous\, and you have Irish storytelling at its best. \nResiding in Queens\, New York City\, John’s parents were from Donegal and Tyrone\, and he spent his childhood going back and forth between Queens and his uncle’s sheep farm outside of Pettigo\, Donegal. He began his career as a cab driver after serving in the US army in Germany during the Vietnam war. \nOff the Meter represents the culmination of a forty year career of driving a yellow cab in New York City\, while trying to make a difference in the world. A glimpse into the changing landscape of the city from the unique position of behind the wheel of an NYC yellow cab\, and takes the audience from tears to hilarity in the speed of a New York minute. Initially presented during the NYC Fringe Festival\, it had a successful sold out run at the Irish Repertory Theatre in New York City\, and was directed by Irish Rep founder Ciaran O’Reilly. Shown in theaters in Boston and New York\, it also received the First Origin Irish Theatre Spirit Award in January of 2022 and was shown in the Sean O’Casey Theatre in Dublin before capacity crowds as part of the O’Casey Festival\, where it was very well received.\nWhen not performing the play\, John co-hosts a weekly radio show with Malachy McCourt on WBAI\, 99.5 FM in NYC every Sunday. He is a board member of the Irish American Writers and Artists\, and has featured on the BBC program Steven Fry in America\, Top Gear with Richard Hammond\, and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. \nA Q&A will take place after the show with guest Conal Creedon.\n\nStephen Fry – ” My Fellow Cabbie- The best and most articulate guide I have ever had”\nRichard Hammond – ” John McDonagh is faster than a New York Minute” \nNew York Times –  “The Bard of Gridlock” \nNew York Daily News – ” John takes Passengers and theatre goers on one hell of a ride” \nIrish Echo – ” Rip- Roaring -Side Spitting -Tongue in check one man play” \nNew York Irish Arts – ” “Off The Meter” offers a topsy-turvy journey through the New York streets” \nWoman Around Town – “Had Mark Twain driven a yellow cab instead of a riverboat\, his stories might’ve been like those of populist raconteur John McDonagh” \nThe New Yorker – “he’s an unfailingly affable raconteur… It’s all fascinating stuff” \nThe Epoch Times -“An absorbing portrait of a city and society in continual flux\, as told by someone who has lived through it\, Off the Meter\, on the Record makes for an extremely satisfying journey.” \nTheaterScene – “uproarious and moving” \nTheatre’s Leiter Side – “Hilarious…It’s hard to think of anyone who could who could do justice to the New York cabby’s life better than John McDonagh.” \nCurtain Up – ” it’s a gem” \nTickets: €15\, Concessions €12\n*Booking fees apply. \n \n

SUMMARY:Cortisol
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 31st August @ 8pm\nFriday 1st September @ 1pm\nCORTISOL\nby Megan Haly & Shannon Haly\nREHEARSED READING \nCortisol tells the story of Sam who through love\, grief and self discovery is learning to navigate life in her twenties- with a metamorphic timeline\, the play drifts between childhood nostalgia and present day chaos.\nThis is a new piece of writing by Cork sisters Megan and Shannon Haly. Collaborating across different time zones\, the Halys began writing Cortisol during the Covid Pandemic. With only 18 months between them\, the sisters wanted to address commonly held misconceptions about people in their twenties. The idea of ‘your twenties being the best years of your life’ was something they struggled with and felt it was an important reality that needed discussion. Nostalgia is a fundamental theme to this play. It looks at how our childhood and growing up in Ireland has influenced the kind of people we are today. From being honest about our sexuality\, living up to our parents’ expectations of us\, leaving our hometowns and the evolution of friendships as we get older\, this play is an exploration of love\, self discovery\, and the journey of becoming ourselves. \nFresh off the stage from a rehearsed reading of their play at the Irish Repertory Theatre in New York\, the sisters are excited to share a new draft of Cortisol with Cork audiences at The Cork Arts Theatre. \n“Cortisol is like a puzzle piece you are putting together in your brain as you’re watching.” – Jenny Green\, New York Irish Arts. \nWritten and Performed by Megan Haly & Shannon Haly\nDirected by Bailey Bass\nProduced by Sadhbh Barrett Coakley\nStage Managed by Molly Foley\nLighting by Jamie Feehily \nCortisol is one of 4 new works in the CATALYST programme that runs throughout September at Cork Arts Theatre. \nCATALYST is a new collaboration between Cork Arts Theatre and The Everyman\, supported by Cork City Council Arts Office\, which aims to provide a platform for the work of early career theatre artists in the city. \nTickets: €8\n*Booking fees apply. \n \n

He also captures his character’s dignity in despair and the comedy makes the heartbreak of Wilde’s life even more poignant. It is a most moving effect.’ – Evening Standard \n‘Funny and melancholic.’  – The Times \n‘Charming and witty.’ – Irish Times \n‘Fine and genuinely moving.’ – Festival Times\, Edinburgh \n‘I found myself finding out more about Wilde than any lecturer in an entire semester of school could teach.
