Volunteering
Enthusiastic Theatre-Goers Needed!
Volunteer in the Abbey’s marketing department
At the Abbey Theatre we are indebted to a network of committed Volunteers who give of their time to assist in the running and development of our organisation. In doing so, Abbey Volunteers play a vital role in helping to promote and sustain Ireland’s national theatre, while enjoying a unique opportunity to engage with the organisation on a social and artistic level.
Since January 2009 we have welcomed over seventy Volunteers into the marketing department to assist with show promotion (mail outs, press cuttings, data processing etc). In exchange for a few hours of your time per month, you will receive a complimentary ticket to an Abbey Theatre production (tickets valid for preview performances on the Abbey or Peacock stage, subject to availability).
At present, volunteering opportunities take place during normal office hours (Monday – Friday, 10am – 5pm). Volunteers are contacted to participate in these sessions in rotation.
To register your interest in the marketing department’s Volunteering programme, contact Aoife Lucey on +353 1 879 7314 or email .
For information about job opportunities in other departments at the Abbey (production, front of house etc), please visit the Careers page of the website.

I travelled from Donegal yesterday to see a preview of Tales of Ballycumber and it was well worth the journey.
The opening scene between Nicholas and Evans with their chat and companionable silences really whetted my appetite and as a parent I really felt the pain of Andrew during the scene with Nicholas as he described holding onto his son as if they were glued together.
Sebastian Barry’s language as always was remarkable and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole production though I did feel that some aspects of the storyline were superfluous and not properly explored.
