MERCY Mounthawk students are playing to full houses at Siamsa Tíre this week as they stage the classic musical, ‘My Fair Lady’.
The students and staff members involved have put in a massive effort over the past few months and it’s all paying off creating a wonderful experience for themselves and the audience.
This classic piece of theatre brings some great musical pieces to the stage performed by a cast which draws from all the year groups in the school.
The production is directed by Tony Behan — who always gets the best out of his cast — and under his guidance in the past, Mounthawk productions have received Bord Gais Student Theatre awards.
The set design is also very impressive so if you have a ticket for the remaining shows on Friday and Saturday consider yourselves lucky. Scroll down for photos…

IT was a great two days of performances from the people at St John Of God who have been working together with local secondary school students on a musical which went down a storm in Siamsa Tire this week.
‘I Have A Dream’ was worked on by the clients from the St John Of God centre in Monavalley with help from volunteers from Transition Year in Mercy Mounthawk Secondary School.
There was a great crowd present on Tuesday and Wednesday nights to see the results of all the hard work put in over the last number of weeks come to fruition.
The play follows the story of Sophie and Sky as they prepare to tie the knot to the soundtrack of the Abba classics.
The play was directed and choreographed by Joe Burkett and was organised musically by Lisa Curran. All involved were delighted to see such large numbers attend on the night as it was a great reward for the cast, all of whom suffer from various disabilities, to see their hard work pay off.
