Changes to Programming – 20/12/2021

A message to all ticket holders, supporters and friends.

Following the government announcement last Friday which introduced an 8pm curfew for theatres until 30th January 2022, we have been in touch with the many artists whose performances are affected.

The safety of our audiences, artists and staff is our top priority and we have also reviewed our own Covid-19 policies in light of recent events. Due to ongoing concerns in relation to the spread of Covid-19, and following much consideration over the last few days, we have had to make a number of difficult decisions.

Ticket holders have been contacted in relation to these events, but if you have any questions please contact ask@whaletheatre.ie.

The following performances have been postponed until further notice:
• Phelim & The Drew House Band (28 & 29 December 2021)
• David O’ Doherty (7 & 8 January 2022)
• Strung (15 January 2022)

Tickets will be valid for future dates and we will be in touch with ticket holders as soon as a new date has been confirmed. If you would prefer not to wait, we would be happy to issue you with a full refund. Please contact ask@whaletheatre.ie if you would like a refund, or if you have any questions.
