A Limerick Theatre Company
Here at Bottom Dog, we like you have found ourselves with time at home. Usually we make live performances. Usually we put our work on stages across this country. However, neither of those things are options for us right now. So over the past few weeks, we used our time to revisit past productions, edit and prepare some of them for online viewing. We shared five of our best shows weekly on Thursdays at 8pm, aiming to emulate the theatre experience with a show, an interval, and some great entertainment. There was no fee, but we encouraged donations and many were very generous. So thanks for joining us, and taking a break from Netflix, Disney + and the telly to enjoy some Bottom Dog Theatre.
On Saturday 15th September 2018, Limerick Council supported Bottom Dog to celebrate a landmark ten years of making theatre in and for Limerick. Thank you to everyone who supported our fundraising gala and contributed to making it such a success. Thanks to the funds raised that evening, we were able to present our 15th production A WILDE FAN - a new play by Myles Breen. It was funded entirely by you the audience, and we couldn't be prouder and more grateful of that fact. We had plans to tour the show in Autumn and hoping that still might be a possibility. Until then we look forward to bringing you, our friends and supporters in Limerick and further afield, another evening of wonderful theatre - with heart, passion and that unmistakable Bottom Dog bite.
