FOREWORD Welcome to our January-June 2014 season at Íontas! We had such a great Autumn run of events, with so many visitors to our centre. Through our new programme, Íontas has something to suit everyone's tastes - young, old, local, visitor, music, arts, dance, comedy and theatre. We are particularly excited that in January 2014, we will be hosting our debut Pantomime, 'The Good, The Bad & The Panto!’ A special thanks to all the volunteers at Íontas theatre, whose continuous support and dedication to the venue proves invaluable to both staff and patrons. We would also like to thank Monaghan County Council for their ongoing assistance in providing this fantastic facility for our community. So, whether it be to a show, view the beautiful art in our foyer gallery or to join a class, we look forward to welcoming you to Íontas soon!
