If you missed this show by these 5 amazing Pothole Productions Cavan actors, when they hit the circuit again, please go.
This is one of the best shows we have had the pleasure to attend EVER!

AND... That’s a wrap on our 1st tour of The Mariettas! 🎭✨

What a journey it has been. We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who came out to support the show. Our audiences were absolutely fantastic from start to finish.

4 amazing venues, 4 full houses, 4 standing ovations, countless laughs, and so many wonderful reviews. We are beyond grateful for the incredible support shown to us throughout the tour. ❤️

We can’t wait for our next run! While we’ll miss the stage, it’s time to hang up our many hats for the summer and recharge before we return in the autumn with more dates to come. Stay tuned!

See you all again soon! 🎶🍂

🎥 Have your say – RTÉ 100 Documentary coming to Cootehill!
Do you remember gathering around the radio for the news…
Watching your first TV programme…
Or the shows, voices and moments that everyone in Ireland was talking about?
As part of celebrations marking RTÉ turning 100, a film crew will be in Cootehill TOMORROW Tuesday (28th April, approx. 3–5pm) to capture local voices and memories.
They’re looking to chat with people of all ages about:
📻 Radio memories
📺 Favourite TV shows & presenters
🎶 Theme tunes you still remember
🇮🇪 Big national moments (the good, the bad & everything in between)
👉 It’s informal, takes about 10 minutes, and should be a bit of craic!
📍 Location: Outside All Saints Church of Ireland / former AIB building (Main Street)
We already have a great group lined up, but there’s room for a few more voices—so if you’ve a story to tell, don’t miss this chance to be part of it.
Let’s make sure Cootehill and Cavan are well represented.
