Behind The Curtain is an exclusive, site-specific and immersive storytelling experience that highlights the magic and wonder of childhood. Hosted behind-the-scenes in the dressing rooms of Cork Opera House, these bitesize performances capture stories with themes of fantasy, magic, dreams, and memories.
Performed as monologues, this three-part event is staged in the dressing rooms, magically transformed by a local artist.
Each part of this three-part event is 15 minutes in duration and runs from 2.30pm-5.30pm on Thursday March 30th 2023 at Cork Opera House. This storytelling experience is for those growing up and for grown-ups too!
