About Us

In 1934, a travelling theatre company arrived in Stepaside Village at the end of a long season on the road. One of the group, Mike O’Grady, remained behind and formed the Sandyford Little Theatre with The Sandyford Library, Lambs Cross, becoming the regular venue for their productions. Other founder members were Mick Doyle, Bridie Doherty, Anna Doherty and Charlie Rourke.

We now perform twice annually at the DLR Mill Theatre, as well as at other venues in the area. We are an ever-increasing ensemble, with new members constantly asking to join and being welcomed into the fold. We try to take a fresh look at well written narrative plays that are both entertaining and thought provoking.

In the past decade, a reinvigorated Sandyford Little Theatre Company has emerged as one of the leading players in the local theatre scene. Our group and its members have won numerous awards (Including the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown Cathaoirleach’s Award for dedicated contribution to the Arts). But for us; that’s not really what it’s about.

It’s about family, friends, and, most importantly, about making good theatre.
