Coachford Players

All at Coachford Players are deeply saddened by the passing of Rita O’Brien this week. Rita was always so generous with her time, offering invaluable advice on costumes and supplying them for our shows. Her help brought countless characters to life in our musicals and productions, both small and large, and we will always be grateful for her support.

The stages of Cork will be the poorer for her passing, but we will remember her kindness, creativity and friendship with great affection.

We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Rita’s family and friends. May she rest in peace.

This screening is dedicated to the memory of Alf McCarthy and David C**n, sadly departed friends and colleagues.
