Coalisland's Wonderful Tradition
Testimonial
by Vera Sullivan
"It is a pleasure to be part of the wonderful tradition of drama and music in Coalisland. Presenting our early plays in the old parochial centre was quite a challenge, the moving to St. Joseph's school stage and returning to the new parochial center. With the late Dan Scott a wonderful stage and set designer, a great back stage and lighting team, talented actors and actresses we progressed.
One of the highlights at that time was the production of Right Again Barnham by author and playwright the late Joe Tomility who came to see our performance and was very complimentary about the production. With this encouragement we moved on to present many more plays including Arsenic and Old Lace and The Man Who Came to Dinner. Great plays, wonderful nights and performances.
Congratulations to the committee and management of Craic for keeping and developing the tradition of drama in Coalisland. Moving to their own modern Craic theatre is a significant acheivement."
