We’re deeply saddened by the impact of last weekend’s fire at the Jute Factory and the toll it has taken on the many small businesses based there. Our hearts especially go out to Nomac Productions and Waterford Centre of Music.

Please know that you’re in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time, and we’re here to support you in any way we can ❤️

🎭 Meet the Cast of Moonshine🎭

Kieran Walsh

Based in Waterford, Kieran Walsh has been treading the boards for the last decade, steadily wearing a groove into the local stages. From The Crucible and Our Town to The Hall, Wife to James Whelan and Mount Prospect, he has recently taken the plunge into musicals — and discovered the pit is bottomless. He dabbles in writing and film, carries a mysterious history with Russian telenovelas, and admits he can’t talk about himself in the third person without resorting to sarcastic wordplay. Kieran loves working with Jim, though he tends to haunt him like a bad penny. He’s savouring every moment of digging up Griffin and is honoured to be giving this character new life on the boards of Garter Lane.
