ABOUT US

ST JOHN'S THEATRE

Housed in a converted 19th Century Gothic Church in the centre of Listowel’s Georgian Square, St John’s Theatre & Arts Centre & Arts Centre provides a flexible 150 seater space, which receives, develops and commissions professional new artistic work across music, theatre, film, literature and visual art. In 1988 a local voluntary committee began the transformation of the then Church of Ireland building and reopened into what is now St. John's Theatre & Arts Centre.

We nurture and grow youth, amateur and community-based arts by providing supports and a unique space for workshops, rehearsals, and performances. We provide opportunities for our community to engage with the arts through arts education programmes that promote life-long learning to diverse communities, to artistically enrich the town of Listowel and its rural hinterland through a spirit of partnership at local and national level.

OUR VISION

To be the premier creative hub for the region, strengthening north Kerry’s visibility and reputational value as a key cultural destination for Irish and international visitors, contributing to the economy, employment opportunities, tourism and quality of life for its community.
