New Offices for Druid
Druid Theatre Company is moving its offices out of Chapel Lane to new head quarters around the cor ner in Flood St. But theatre goers will still see future productions in its present premises. Administrator Jane Da ly says the company is dividing its activities because the administra tion area of the present premises in Chapel Lane has been sold by the owners McDonoghs, Mer chant Rd., to O'Malley's Construction Co. Ltd. It is now due to be developed under the Inner City Development Tax Incen tive Scheme, Druid have been tenants in the Chapel Lane premises for the past 12 years and the new offices and storage space in Flood St are also being rented from McDonoghs. According to Myles O'Malley of O'Malley Con struction Co. Ltd, O'Malleys have bought the bottom section of the Chapel Lane Building sub ject to Druid being rehous ed. Until that has taken place they cannot discuss their plans for developing this area of the building. O'Malleys say that no plans have yet been made for the theatre and box of fice area. 'I think the move of of fices will be a relatively comfortable one" says Jane Daly "As well as the office space McDonoghs have partitioned off part of the warehouse in Flood St. so we will have room for sets and rehearsal areas." Ms. Daly believes it is unlikely that the theatre and box office area will be moved for some time to come, but it is a possibili ty that it may occur before the new Spanish Arch Municipal Theatre is built. If this occurs, she says, Druid will have to find alternative space until such time as the Municipal Theatre is finished. She is emphatic that such an event can be contained by the company and will not cause any adverse results
