Committee

Oyster Lane Theatre Group is an amateur musical theatre group based in Wexford, Ireland.  Formed in 1994 and with 27 productions behind us, our ethos is one of mixing youth with experience to create memorable shows.

We take great pride in the fact that we have introduced hundreds of performers to the world of theatre. Our shows run in the Dun Mhuire Theatre as a fringe event of the world renowned Wexford Opera Festival which occurs during October each year.

Many of our committee, cast and crew work with us year after year for the pleasure of participating in the process of producing great shows that, thankfully, the public turn up in their thousands for. While most continue to do it as an amateur pastime, many of our past members have gone on to become in involved in theatre on a professional basis including:

Charlie Murphy –  Actress – Love/Hate, Vikings

Justin Murphy – Stage Manager – Rough Magic, Druid

Nick Roche – Played lead roles and also used to hand draw our posters.  He now draws the official Transformer Comics for IDW Publishing and recently drew the animations for the latest video from ‘The Darkness’

Sharon Clancy – Performed in Lead roles in West End Shows including Mamma Mia, Grease, Rent and Jesus Christ Superstar.

Michael Londra –  US based Tenor, Promoter, Celtic Fire

It is also worth noting that members who joined us as children have gone on to direct (Tom O’Leary & Paul Walsh) and choreograph (Jonny Smith) our shows in recent years .
