Performers from the Delta Centre, Carlow will perform a shortened version of ‘Oh What a Show’ which had a hugely successful run at the George Bernard Shaw Theatre, Carlow earlier this year.
The full production involves over 90 performers with an Intellectual Disability and 80 staff from Delta Centre.
The lively show contains numbers from a range of well-known musicals and productions such as Cats, Oh what a Circus, One more star in the sky, Oliver, and No Business like Showbusiness. The ethos behind the production is to demonstrate that people of differing abilities can participate in and enjoy every aspect of the world of theatre from acting, singing and dancing to prop construction and costume design. It’s a performance not to be missed.
