Rebel City Drama Club is an independent theatre group based in Cork City. Our major objective is to remove access barriers to performance theatre and make it accessible for everyone at every level. We consider ourselves amateur, but amateur for us simply means non- profit, with no compromise on the quality. We organize fortnightly theatre meet-ups in the city centre (Haven Café) which are open to all members of the community. We have staged performances in Cork City from 2018 onwards, across venues such as Nano Nagle Theatre, Firkin Crane, An Spailpin Fanach and YouTube Primer during the 2021 Level 5 lockdown in Ireland. 

There are several playwrights, actors and non-acting support within the group, across multiple theatre craft domains and experience levels. In terms of expertise, age profiles, ethnicities, etc., we are really a ‘rainbow’ group. At the same time, we are ‘Pure Cork’ - all members involved in productions are residents in Cork, with many of the members born and brought up in the Rebel County.

We endeavour to remain an accessible and open group, while we continue to put on productions, with quality getting progressively better every time. The main aim is to improve and learn, while having fun and entertaining the people of Cork and beyond.
