🎭 Thank You, Athlone
As the dust settles after the 2026 RTÉ All Ireland Drama Festival, we extend our sincere thanks to the entire team in Athlone for hosting such an outstanding festival.
Over nine unforgettable nights in the Dean Crowe Theatre, audiences were treated to exceptional theatre, warm hospitality and the unique sense of friendship and community that makes the All-Ireland Finals so special.
A special word of appreciation to Festival Director Michael McGlone and Secretary Doreen Holloway for their leadership, dedication and tireless work throughout the festival.
Thank you also to the volunteers, supporters and everyone behind the scenes who helped make this year’s ADCI Open Finals such a memorable celebration of Irish amateur drama.

It's only one man's opinion after all! Can't imagine any performance any better than Bridge's production of: 'Things l Know To Be True'. Got a standing ovation at Portadown Drama Festival in March and swept the decks in the awards from an English adjudicator. Must only have been a hair's breadth between 1st and 2nd.
Congratulations to all the participating groups from all at Prosperous Drama Society 🎉🎭💖
Huge congratulations to all the winners, especially my friends in Bridge Drama. A top 3 finish two years in a row, incredible achievement ❤️
