Standing Ovations and Sparkling Performances as Dramatic Action Stage School Throws “A Little Party” to Remember at Kilkenny’s Watergate Theatre


Kilkenny was alive with music, laughter and dazzling talent last weekend as Dramatic Action Stage School took centre stage with its spectacular variety show, A Little Party, delighting packed audiences and earning thunderous applause from start to finish.

Playing to sold-out crowds, the highly anticipated production transformed the theatre into a feast of colour, energy and entertainment. From show-stopping musical numbers to hilarious comedy sketches and breathtaking dance routines, audiences were treated to an unforgettable evening celebrating the incredible talents of the school’s young performers. Dramatic Action is run by panto dame Rob Murphy whose parents hail from Gowran Co Kilkenny.

Months of hard work, rehearsals and preparation paid off in spectacular fashion as performers of all ages lit up the stage with confidence and enthusiasm. Proud parents, family members and friends filled the auditorium, with many left amazed by the professionalism and polish displayed throughout the evening.

The atmosphere was electric from the opening curtain to the grand finale, with audience members singing along, cheering and rising to their feet for standing ovations. Costumes sparkled, voices soared and every performer brought their own unique magic to the production.

Speaking after the show, many audience members described the evening as “simply fantastic”, praising the dedication of the cast and crew and the outstanding vision of director Rob Murphy. “It was pure entertainment from beginning to end,” said one delighted theatre-goer. “The talent on display was unbelievable and you could see how much heart had gone into every number.”

Dramatic Action Stage School has long been recognised for nurturing young talent and fostering confidence, creativity and a love of the arts. Once again, the school proved why it continues to be one of Kilkenny’s brightest stars in the performing arts scene.

As the curtain came down on A Little Party, one thing was certain – this was no ordinary night at the theatre. It was a magical celebration that left audiences smiling, humming the tunes and already looking forward to the next production.

If last weekend’s spectacular is anything to go by, the future is certainly bright for Dramatic Action Stage School and its talented cast of rising stars. Bravo to all involved for delivering a truly unforgettable show that had Kilkenny talking long after the final bow.
