Backstage Theatre

Small-town theatre with a busy live calendar. Plays, comedies and touring musicals sit alongside country gigs, tribute shows and pop nights. Regular concerts mean a proper stage, good sound and an audience that knows how to have fun. Easy to reach in Longford town centre.

Backstage Theatre is Longford’s local venue for stage and music. You get straight-up plays like Shirley Valentine and The Bartered Bride, comedy nights and touring acts from country to pop. The space feels compact, friendly and focused on live performance. The programme mixes community theatre with visiting bands and tribute shows such as Icons Of The ’70s and ABBA Forever. It’s the kind of place for an evening out where the show comes first and the crowd comes along for it.
