“Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night”  After their hugely successful show “Let’s Go To The Movies” in the Aula Maxima in April, The UCC Players were delighted to be back on stage at the Cork Arts Theatre with their production of “The Wisdom of Eve” by Mary Orr.  

It’s Oscar season! And for three nights in April, the Aula Maxima got a Hollywood makeover for an evening of glamour and music from The UCC Players. Taking inspiration from the Golden Era of Hollywood Cinema, this production is a tribute to the great musicals and movies that brought us some of the most enduring songs and scenes in cinematic memory – a perfect excuse to come together for some feel-good entertainment in one of Cork’s most beautiful settings.  

The UCC Players brought their latest masterpiece ‘Educating Rita’ to centre stage at the Aula Maxima, UCC from 15th – 19th May 2022.  The heart-warming comedy, written by one of Britain’s greatest playwrights, Willy Russell, starred Jim O’Mahony as Frank, and Karen Ray as Rita, both shaping and adapting the fictional characters into captivating performances.  Directed and produced by multi-skilled Brenda Lynch, all creative aspects of the production were so carefully considered – even down to the sweet treats! Many thanks to everyone who so warmly supported this poignant and cherished story.  A resounding success and we could not be prouder of this trio!
