 As we await the government directives on 31st August, outlining the next lifting of restrictions, we are hopeful that our theatres and venues around the country will finally welcome back live audiences, however limited, after so many months of darkened auditoriums. With that in mind, the ADCI/DLI Joint '6&6' Committee will be meeting this weekend to consider further how the 2021 One Act Circuit can be safely run in October/November/December within a Covid-conscious framework.
Details for registering for the circuit are in this newsletter and on our website www.dli.ie. There is also preliminary news in this edition the of the all-important and ever-popular One Act Finals in glor, Ennis 3-5 December.

Jackie Scanlan, Drama at Ennis One Act Finals Secretary, writes:
Following our first in person committee meeting of this year's All Ireland One Act Finals in quite some time this week, we are looking forward to so much ahead over the next few months. We are delighted to welcome you all to Ennis Players' hosting of the finals in the beautiful glór Theatre from Friday 3 December to Sunday 5 December. We can promise you a wonderful weekend filled with fun, drama and activities, and will be meeting with the ADCI/DLI Joint Committee this coming weekend to present some of the details of the event. This will be the third time Ennis Players have had the pleasure of hosting the finals and we promise the welcome will be as warm as it was for our last two outings.
We want to make these finals a much-needed respite from all that we have come through over the past number of months. The Festival Club will take place in the resplendent Old Ground Hotel where we have arranged special rates for the weekend of the finals. www.oldgroundhotelennis.com.
Keep an eye out for future details!
