At St Brigid's Church · Howth Road, Killester, Dublin 5, D05 P983
Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
St Brigid’s Parish in Killester closes out its centenary year with a themed evening of song and memory on Friday 6 November 2026, when Dublin’s Theatre Royal Remembered brings the story of the city’s legendary variety theatre to Howth Road. Vocalists Gerard and Kathleen Noonan perform alongside narrator Conor Doyle and Pauline Cooper, weaving music with spoken recollection of a venue that once anchored Dublin’s entertainment scene.
The evening leans on nostalgia rather than a straight concert format, with the Noonans’ vocals framed by Conor Doyle’s narration to build a picture of what a night at the old Theatre Royal actually felt like, from its stage shows to its place in Dublin’s social life. It is one of the later dates in the parish’s year-long run of centenary events, following the Opening Mass and photographic exhibition earlier in 2026, and gives the celebration a lighter, more theatrical close after the more solemn Centenary Mass in September. Expect an older crowd drawn by the subject matter as much as by the parish connection, alongside regular parishioners.
St Brigid’s Church is on the Howth Road in Killester, a short walk from Killester DART station and served by Dublin Bus routes along the Howth Road. On-street parking is available on the surrounding residential roads.
Killester sits on the DART line between Raheny and Clontarf, with Fairview Park and the shops along the Howth Road within easy reach before or after the concert. There is more to explore across Co. Dublin.
