Pavilion Theatre ( Irish: Amharclann an Phailliúin) [1] [2] is a theatre, cinema and arts centre in Dún Laoghaire, Ireland. [3] [4]
Pavilion Theatre was founded in 1903, under the name of the Pavilion & Gardens Kingstown Ltd., with a stage measuring 83 × 24 feet (25 × 7 m). John McCormack performed in 1908. In 1915 the Pavilion burned down. By the 1930s it was only a cinema, with no plays being shown. In 1940 it burned down again. The introduction of television led to a decline, and the last film shown for a long time was No Sex Please, We're British in 1974. In the 1980s, Planxty recorded two programmes for RTÉ at the Pavilion, [5]: 274 and acts such as De Dannan, The Dubliners and the Dublin Ballet Company also performed at the venue. [6]
The Pavilion was closed in 1984 as a result of the enforcement of new fire regulations introduced with the Fire Acts of 1981 and 1982, and reopened in 2001 as a new 324-seat building. [6] [7] [8] It is operated by Pavilion Theatre Management Company and owned by Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council. It employs six full-time and 12 casual staff. [9]
