Works starts on new state of the art Theatre
By Aideen O'Flaherty
WORK is underway on the construction of the new Tallaght Theatre building on the Greenhills Road, which is being built on the carpark directly in front of the former Tallaght Theatre building, adjacent to The Cuckoo’s Nest, reports Aideen O’Flaherty.
The Echo understands that the former Tallaght Theatre building will be demolished in the next six weeks, as part of plans for the development of a 45-unit residential estate to the rear of The Cuckoo’s Nest.

The construction of the new theatre is part of a wave of development on the site, which was sold last year for a guide price of €4m, with the inclusion of planning permission for a residential development.
The 4.5-acre patch of land went on the market last year, following the closure of the landmark pub in 2015, with a deal being reached with the new buyer last December.
The Tallaght Theatre group, which was established in 1975, are a non-profit, voluntary drama group and their theatre venue also adheres to the same ethos.
