subsequently adapted in the late nineteenth century to the Theatre Royal we
know today, Waterford has been renowned for its local musical and dramatic
traditions.
The Theatre Royal, often referred to as "the peoples theatre", has been the
traditional venue for this creative activity down through the generations.
As such it is the home for long established amateur societies and has hosted
