About The Night Alive

The Ooley Theatre is proud to host a local actor and producer who has long had passion for the stage. This particular show is full of all things theater worthy from poetic writing to captivating performances. We hope you enjoy this Drama Critic's Circle Award winning play! 

THE STORY:

 Tommy’s not a bad man; he’s getting by. Renting a run-down room in his Uncle Maurice’s house, just about keeping his ex-wife and kids at arm’s length, and rolling from one get-rich-quick scheme to the other with his pal Doc. Then one day he comes to the aid of Aimee, who’s not had it easy herself, struggling through life the only way she knows how. Their past won’t let go easily, but together there’s a glimmer of hope that they could make something more of their lives. Something extraordinary. Perhaps. With inimitable warmth, style and craft, Conor McPherson’s THE NIGHT ALIVE deftly mines the humanity to be found in the most unlikely of situations.

A 3 Camera State of the Art set-up is used to give you a feeling of really being right there in the room with us. We know many are now not comfortable in crowds of any size, or there are those who simply cannot get out any more and we think you are just as important as our in person crowd. Live Stream is offered on a variety of shows so check out the box office and see!

We look forward to seeing you or you seeing us at our venue!
