St. John's Youth Theatre are taking to the stage with our next production "WHAT NOW?", on Monday and Tuesday next, the 25th & 26th at 8pm. This show is entirely written by members of the Youth Theatre and takes a satirical, cynical and hilarious look at the world in which they are growing up. Far from cruising through life with their heads buried in a phone, these kids are very aware of what's going on in the world and of the challenges that await them when they inherit this world from those of us going before them. And to be honest, I don't think they're too impressed with our efforts. So, everything is up for grabs: our health system, education, dating web sites, feminism, sexism, racism, vegans, climate change etc., etc.To find out more, come along to St. John's Theatre at 8pm on Monday or Tuesday and be impressed, embarrassed, made to feel inadequate, made uncomfortable in your seats and be totally entertained by North Kerry's next offering of young writer's and actors. AND you'll be able to understand every word they say because it won't be OMG, like whatever totes awkes, eww....lol. (Apparently, what I've just written there is an actual sentence) These kids have worked so, so hard on this so don't you think they deserve our support? See you in St. John's!! Booking: 068 22566

All of us in St. John's Youth Theatre are so excited about our next production to be staged on Monday and Tuesday, the 24th and 25th. "A Holy Show" an hilarious comedy has been written by our very own Kaytlann Barry. Kaytlann has been a member of the youth theatre now for a couple of years and has been writing since a very young age. Several of her sketches and monologues have been staged by us in the past but now, at the age of just 17 (yes, 17) she has written her first full length play. "A Holy Show" is NOT to be missed. Packed with great characters and wonderful comedy, a great night out is guaranteed.
I am so proud of her and of the cast for all the work that they've put in to make this production a success. And I'm predicting a "HUGE" success. Kaytlann is carrying on a proud tradition in Listowel and North Kerry, of writers and writing and she will be mentioned alongside the greats of the literary heritage that Listowel holds so dear.
Her writing is very clever and challenges all of us to look at ourselves and how and why we maintain the status quo. She takes a quirky and sometimes cynical look at the attitudes and influences that have shaped us and the Ireland of today AND does so through the medium of comedy, which makes it all the more brilliant.
So, to be really impressed and to celebrate the genius of a 17 yr. old girl, be in St. John's at 8pm on Monday or Tuesday night. You'll be disappointed if you don't because, in a very short time, securing tickets to see a "Kaytlann Barry" play will be very difficult indeed.
Please come out and support the latest and youngest and arguably one of the best Listowel writers by booking on:068 22566.

Right. St. John's Youth Theatre are back with another epic production, beginning tonight, the 28th and again tomorrow night, the 29th. We have 2 one act plays; The hilarious "Creepy Co**se of Cal Capone", by our junior group and the powerful and evocative "Chatroom", by our senior group. These two plays are really challenging for any group but these fine young actors are more than equal to the task and breathe life into some amazing characters.
So, to find out if Cal Capone can really ruin it for Remmie or will Pete save the day aided by a "Ghost", you'll have to come to St. John's. Likewise, you'll have to be there to learn about a plot to kill J K Rowling, what really happened to Britney Spears and how easy it really is to find yourself in danger on the internet.
Show starts at 8 pm. Booking: 068 22566.
