St Michael's Theatre
Proscenium arch
Theatricals have a long history in New
Ross going back to medieval times, many performed on this site in the
Norman Church of St. Michael. The present building was built in 1806,
eight years after the Insurrection of 1798 and served as the Parish
church until 1902 when the new parish church, St. Mary's & Michaels,
was opened.
Over the next half century the building had many uses, as
a town hall and also as a cinema.
