Nun's Island Theatre is an 82-seat performance venue, operated by the Galway Arts Centre, in the Nun's Island area of Galway city in Ireland.
The theatre operates from a former Presbyterian meeting house, [3] which was built c. 1840 by architect James Cusack. [4] [5] The building, which is a protected structure, [6] was repurposed as a cultural venue in the early 1980s and became the home of the Galway Arts Centre. [1] The building was purchased by Galway City Council in 1986 and renovated in 2004. [1]
The "church house", at the rear of Nun's Island Theatre, was acquired in 2015. [7] In 2021, €170,000 in funding was allocated to develop the church house into an additional "creative space" at the venue. [7] These works are planned to commence during 2024. [1] In 2023, the city council allocated additional funding for conservation and repairs to the theatre. [2]
Nun's Island Theatre retains several of the architectural features from its time as a church, including high ceilings and large windows. The interior has been modified to suit its current use as a theatre,[ citation needed] with seating for 82 people. [2]
The venue is used for theatrical productions, exhibitions, [8] [9] private screenings, and conferences. [1] It is also home to the Galway Youth Theatre and has been used as a venue during the Galway International Arts Festival and the Galway Theatre Festival. [10] [11]
In previous editions of the [Galway theatre] festival, locations such as [..] Nuns Island Theatre, Mick Lally Theatre and The Spanish Arch have all previously been used
