The Town Hall Theatre (Irish: Amharclann Halla na Cathrach[1]) is a theatre in Galway, Ireland.
History
The building which houses the Town Hall Theatre was erected in the 1820s and served first as a courthouse and later as a town hall. In the 1950s, the building was converted into a cinema and was used for film screenings until it fell into disrepair in the 1990s. Galway Corporation (now Galway City Council), with the assistance of a grant from the Department of Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht, undertook a major refurbishment of the building between 1993 and 1995 and it reopened as a Municipal Theatre in October 1995.[2]
The venue attracts audiences in excess of 100,000 annually (close to 2 million since being officially re-opened on 1st February 1996) making it the most successful theatre of its size in Ireland.[3]
It is used as a venue for several festivals annually including Cúirt International Festival of Literature, Galway International Arts Festival, Galway Film Fleadh and more. Charlie Byrne's hosts a pop-up bookshop there each year during Cúirt.[4]
