AdminHistoryFor nearly a 100 years, before it became a theatre, the building which became known as the County Theatre was a Calvinistic Methodist Chapel called the Tabernacle.
In 1912, James Hare, brought the empty chapel in Dean Street, which was being used as a town skating rink, and had not been worshipped in for 6 years. He transformed it into the County Theatre with the help of a Dublin architect.
