What's on in Waterford: Live music, theatre and more
Waterford’s only dedicated theatre development space, A Little Room is based in the newly refurbished Garter Lane Studios at 5 O’Connell Street, in the heart of the city’s cultural quarter.
This unique theatre development space is open to professional practitioners from Waterford and beyond to come and spend a month developing work in a free and professional space.
This week, A Little Room presents “Baby’s First Computer, Daddy’s Last Phone”, an exploration of Sinéad’s relationship with her father through Instagram, maps, toys and their collective ‘lifeswork’.
Sinéad invites you to join her and scribble and edit with her as she makes connections across childhood, newer technologies and maps these across A Little Room.
The event is free. Reserve a space at garterlane.ie
