NURSERY SHOWS
There’s nothing more exciting than a day at the theatre. We bring stories to life on stage with productions happening throughout the school year.
School Visits
Throughout the year we offer lots of creative learning opportunities for students of all ages. Your class can experience a live theatre show, enjoy world-class art exhibitions, or enjoy a creative workshop led by professional artists.
When it comes to bringing a lesson alive, The Market Place Theatre, Armagh is the place to be. We’ve welcomed thousands of school children to the Market Place Theatre, so if you haven’t been to visit us yet here are a few ideas of how to get the most from your Market Place Theatre visit.
Forthcoming Productions
Cinderella | December 2022
It’s been the godmother of all waits, but this Christmas at The Market Place Theatre, you shall go to the ball!
Pantomime is back with all the traditional festive ingredients; an amazing cast, glittering set, laugh-out-loud humour, plenty of boos and hisses, all topped off with a sprinkling of fairy magic! So dust off your ball gowns and join us for the classic rags-to-riches tale with a modern twist – ‘Cinderella’.
Poor Cinderella doesn’t get out much, and with her two horrible cousins and evil Aunt making her do all the housework, there’s no chance she’ll be going to the big party at the palace…. Or is there? Cue a little Fairy Godmother intervention, along with a lot of madcap help from Cinderella’s friends, and there might yet be magic at midnight!
The world’s greatest fairytale has captivated audiences for generations with its spellbinding story, memorable music, and unforgettable characters. Now, the story sparkles as never before, as a fabulous cast of larger-than-life characters tell the tale of glamorous slippers, glistening carriages and gorgeous gowns.
Traditional panto at it’s very best, ‘Cinderella’ promises an unforgettably festive experience coupled with The Market Place Theatre’s renowned reputation for high quality, professional pantomimes that are acclaimed as among the best in Ireland. We recommend this production for children aged 5 to 95!
