North-West LGBT Theatre Festival
Donation protected
The Rabbit’s Riot Theatre Company is a production company based in the north-west of Ireland that aims to create thought-provoking and emotive theatre using both established and new writing.
Having just celebrated their first year anniversary, The Rabbit’s Riot has been bringing imaginative and topical theatre to audiences in Sligo, Leitrim and Dublin. They have staged a variety of shows, including a colourful and vibrant rendition of the iconic Alice in Wonderland, mythological pop-up theatre and a bold piece of verbatim theatre focusing on the issue of cyber bullying and revenge porn.
Their next project is Where We Are Now, a theatre festival celebrating works written by and about those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and everything in between!
Where We Are Now will take place on the 8th – 10th of June 2017. It is a project that seeks to recognize and give an on-stage voice to members of rural communities in the Irish north-west. It is the first collaboration of its kind between writers from across the globe and Irish directors and actors within Co. Sligo.
However, we do need your help. The festival is currently entirely self-funded. We want to be able to represent LGBTQ+ people through theatre but to do that, we have a goal of €2000 to cover marketing and production costs.
While we have some fundraisers planned to help budge up the numbers, every little helps and we would appreciate it so much if you could donate whatever amount you can! It doesn’t have to be a lot and any donation will be hugely appreciated.
This is not just an opportunity to support theatre in Ireland, where funding has been cut drastically over the past few years, but LGBTQ+ theatre in a part of the country where it is sorely needed.
You can follow the festival on social media - we’ve got all the apps!

Again, thank you so much, and we'll see you when the curtain goes up!
