WHO WE ARE

The Irish Theatre Group (ITG) is a not-for-profit organisation, here to share our love of theatre and our rich tradition of storytelling with the international community of Brussels. We started back in the early 1980s with a desire to stage some of the classics of Irish theatre and we haven't stopped since. Fortunately for us, and we hope for you, the world of Irish theatre is vibrant and increasingly diverse and there is no end to the stories that need to be told and are worth telling.

JUMP! by Lisa McGee

22-26 October 2024

​Who hasn’t had an utterly disappointing New Year’s Eve? While yours may have ended without a snog in a half-empty nightclub, it probably doesn’t compare to the New Year’s Eve journey we’ll take you on in JUMP! In this comedy-thriller by Lisa McGee of Derry Girls fame, three “party gals”, a couple of hapless, wannabe gangsters and two strangers struggling to find meaning in life collide in overlapping stories full of heartbreak, shock, and hilariously sharp dialogue. You’re guaranteed a night you’ll remember with more fondness than your last New Year’s Eve!

THE WAREHOUSE

Our home in Brussels

In 1994, the Irish Theatre Group, the American Theatre Company and the English Comedy Club purchased a complex now known as The Warehouse at Rue Waelhem in Schaerbeek. Managed by the three groups it features a 65-seat studio theatre, rehearsal rooms and workshop and is the centre for amateur English language theatre in Brussels.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Home: Testimonials

Whether treading the boards or working backstage, for me, working on an ITG play is to learn the true meaning of teamwork. I personally love the creativity, escapism and fun of it all.

Sinéad Meehan van Druten

It was a real blessing to find the Irish Theatre Group when I first arrived in Brussels — a wonderful chance to explore a passion for theatre as part of a welcoming, friendly, and supportive community!

Eoin O'Leary

I've met some of my best friends in Brussels through the ITG and learned so much along the way. It's a great community to be part of whether you are acting, producing or working backstage.
