Make-Up – Members of Ballycogley Players
In Joe and Kate Keller’s family garden, an apple tree – a memorial to their son Larry, lost in the Second World War has been torn down by a storm. But his loss is not the only part of the family’s past they can’t put behind them. Not everybody’s forgotten the court case that put Joe’s partner in jail, or the cracked engine heads his factory produced which caused it and dropped twenty-one pilots out of the sky.
Founded in 1975, Ballycogley Players Drama Group are a close-knit ensemble based in South Wexford. They currently have over 40 members ranging in age from 17 to 80. The group undertake charity performances for local organisations and communities every year as well as performing 1-Act and full-length productions. In 2024 the group made the All-Ireland Open finals for the first time in their history. Ballycogley Players welcome new members to join their drama family. Last year was a milestone for the group as they celebrated their 50th anniversary.
