Civic Theatre, Dublin

The Civic Theater is a fresh, purpose-built venue that comes courtesy of Dublin Corporation and that features a 350 capacity auditorium, studio space and bar/restaurant. While the theater is still finding its feet somewhat and is arguably a little inaccessible because of its suburban location (about 45 minutes from the city center), it's a great place to catch a diverse range of contemporary Irish and international theater. The venue plays host mainly to touring companies, and shows that have had successful runs in the bigger Dublin theaters often transfer to here. Check press for details.
