The North East Galway Fit-Up Theatre Festival returns to County Galway for 2022.

Rural villages in North East Galway will enjoy three weeks of fantastic theatre from Tuesday September 27th until Sunday 16^th October. The Three Rings in association with Galway County Council Arts Office with support from the Arts Council will present three award winning plays as they reintroduce Fit Up Theatre to Galway communities.

This year’s tour will include performances in venues at Skehana Community Hall (Tuesdays: 27^th Sept, 4^th & 11^th Oct), Dunmore Town Hall (Wednesdays: 28^th Sept, 5^th & 12^th Oct), Fohenagh Hall (Thursdays: 29^th Sept, 6^th & 13^th Oct), Kilcoona Social Centre (Fridays: 30^th Sept, 7^th & 14^th October) ,The Mall Theatre, Tuam (Saturdays 1^st, 8^th & 15^th October) and The Storehouse, Ballyglunin Station(Sundays 2^nd, 9^th 16th October ) with performances taking place at 8pm each night.

The Fit-Up Festival is based on the old ‘Fit-Ups’ which were at their height of popularity in the 1930s, 40s and 50s when travelling theatre companies travelled around Ireland to rural communities performing in make-shift venues. There were once 52 travelling theatre companies in Ireland, Anew MacMaster’s being the most famous and well-known to Galway audiences of the time. Harrold Pinter once performed in Tuam as part of one of McMaster’s shows. The resurrection of the Fit-Up model began in West Cork in 2009 as the brainchild of director Geoff Gould and has now become a popular feature in Cork's calendar of events and now Three Rings are set to do the same for Galway. The Galway Fit-Up began in 2021 touring Noni Stapleton’s Charolais and is delighted to announce it will be expanding to three weeks this year. The goal of the Fit-Up festival in North East Galway is to build new audiences for contemporary theatre in remote rural communities while offering touring opportunities for Ireland’s best theatre makers, writers and performers.
