Ger Cody needs no introduction, but here is a reminder of his contribution to the local theatre scene on and off the stage.
Ger has been involved with theatre in Kilkenny since the 1970s and has appeared on stage with many local and regional groups. He was Artistic Director at The Watergate Theatre for twenty five years, where, apart from day-to-day operations, he was involved in fifty plus in-house productions, helping to raise much needed funds for the venue.
In 2018 he was one of the founding members of Lake Productions, who have produced such shows as โTradโ, โAfter Sarah Milesโ, โWar of The Worldsโ and โThe Kings of the Kilburn High Roadโ.
Over the last few years, Ger has worked with The Involvement Centre and The Recovery College in Kilkenny. As a result of this collaboration, two poetry books have been produced, with a third publication scheduled for 2022.
In conjunction with The Involvement Centre, he has produced two radio plays - โA River Walkโ by Frank Marshall and โThe Pink Milky Gooโ by Andrei Markewitz. He is currently working on four radio documentaries on Irish authors (Seamus Heaney, JB Keane, WB Yeats and Patrick Kavanagh) with The Involvement Centre and Community Radio Kilkenny.
His last performance was in โThe Liam MacCarthy Storyโ by Barry Henriques, performed in 2021 with Lake Productionsโ member, Derek Dooley.
Ger is a regular contributor to Pat Shortallโs programme Sunday Serendipity on CRKC.
