Mostrim Players already sold out for three shows of the comedy Drinking Habits taking to the stage in Edgeworthstown
MOSTRIM Players have announced an extra matinee show as they gear up to stage with Drinking Habits, a comedy by Tom Smith, directed by Jimmy Connell, in Edgeworthstown this weekend.
After weeks of rehearsals under Jimmy Connell's direction and Marian Sheridan on production, the cast is ready to bring this lively comedy to the stage at St Mary's Community Centre, Edgeworthstown on Sunday at 3pm, having sold out out evening shows from Friday, November 13 to Sunday, November 15.
Taking to social media to announce the matinee show, Mostrim Players said the incredible support has left it “absolutely speechless.”
The cast features Kate O'Donohoe as Sr Philomena, Denise Flood as Sr Augusta, John Rooney as George, Mary Killane as Mother Superior, Maeve Reilly as Sally, Liam Farrell as Paul, Richie Cheevers as Fr Chenille and Stacey Donohoe as Sr Mary Catherine.
This production will be especially poignant as the cast dedicate the weekend's performances to the memory of the late Eileen Spillane. Over the years, every cast member has shared the stage with her, and she is greatly missed, both on stage and as a valued member of the production crew.
In Eileen's honour, Saturday night's raffle will support LauraLynn, Ireland's Children's Hospice, her favourite charity. It is a special way for the group to remember a much-loved friend who will always be part of Mostrim Players.
Aince 2013, Mostrim Players have entertained local audiences with their spring and autumn productions, staging both comedy and drama and bringing people together through a shared love of theatre.
Tickets cost €15 and are available exclusively from A&N Gift Shop, Main Street, Edgeworthstown. With only 80 tickets available per performance, early purchase is advised.
