Adapted by Sam Hanna Bell from his novel "December Bride"
Sarah Gomartin and her mother come to work for the Echlin family, comprising a father and two brothers on a farm at Rathard. Crisis arises when Andrew, the father, dies, and Sarah continues to live with the two brothers, bearing a child out of wedlock to one of the brothers but refusing to say which one.
The neighbours in the narrow, puritanical community are scandalised and shun the place. The local Minister, tries to heal wounds but it seems to the locals that Sarah... that woman at Rathard... has brought a curse on the farm.

A distinguished broadcaster and Features Producer at the B.B.C., he wrote eight books, countless features for radio and television, and as editor of the Ulster Tatler's 'Literary Miscellany', over one hundred short stories.
December Bride is his best known novel, which was successfully filmed in 1992. Adapted for stage in 1955, it was produced at Belfast's Lyric Theatre in 1965 and revived by Theatre Ulster in 1985 when it was directed by Frank McGuinness.
Centre Stage has gathered a powerful company - Gordon Fulton, Roma Tomelty and Derek Lord (best known as Sneddon in STV's 'Take the High Road')in a guest appearance as Matt Crockart, directed by Colin Carnegie.

The Haunting of Helena Blunden
THE HAUNTING OF HELENA BLUNDEN
By Paul Boyd & Bernie McGill, presented by Big Telly Theatre Company
Big Telly Theatre Company’s Irish Tour of their compelling production The Haunting of Helena Blunden opened last week at The Market Place Theatre to standing ovations. Audiences raved about the ghostly production describing it as ‘stunning’ and ‘the best piece of theatre I’ve ever seen’. With a striking score and outstanding performances, The Haunting of Helena Blunden has all the ingredients of a memorable theatre experience
A doorway. A stairwell. A story. Two women: one desperate to cross over the threshold: the other desperate to escape.
What is it on the other side that makes eighty-year-old Maggie want so badly to go in? What is it that has terrified Susan into packing up and leaving? And why does the story of the mysterious Helena Blunden still hold them both there? This is thriller, ghost story, and musical. Set in modern Belfast in a converted linen mill it has more twists and turns than the yarn winding its way round the spindle. Just when you think it's time to relax, sit back and breathe easy, the breath is knocked right out of you. When fear moves in …. Age 14+

In a 40 year career, he made his name with Heads Hands & Feet in the early 70’s before living a dual existence either side of the Atlantic, whilst playing with Eric Clapton, John Cocker, Emmylou Harris, The Everly Brothers, Joe Cocker, Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, Jerry Douglas, Earl Scruggs, Rodney Crowell, and Buddy Miller to Jimmy Dale Gilmore and Vince Gill.
He is based in both L.A. and Nashville, which partly explains both his recent Grammy award for Best Instrumentalist with Nashville superstar Earl Scruggs and brings with him Pete Wingfield on keys, Gerry Hogan on pedal steel, Brian Hodgson on bass, and Pete Baron on drums.

The Sign of the Whale
FRIDAY 26 MARCH, 8PM
Written by Jimmy McAleavey, presented by Tinderbox Theatre Company
Belfast 1977. Dermy, a headline writer neurotically compelled to remember every victim of violence, is on the brink of a breakdown. Tony, a Belfast teenager, is meanwhile on the brink of life amid a conflict that might never end. Into their world of violent stalemate sails something preposterous, absurd and magical. A killer whale is seen in Belfast Lough. Has it come to be butchered itself, bring luck or bring further disaster to the city?
When the whale suddenly disappears, tragic circumstances bring Dermy and Tony together in a search to find it. Maimed by experience, their search becomes much more than for a hunt for the whale. It's their search for a future.

Billie Joe Spears and Philomena Begley
SATURDAY 27 MARCH, 8PM
Billie Jo Spears makes a return trip to Ireland with her sultry, bluesy voice that made her a perfect torch balladeer. In 1972 surgery on her vocal cords twice over the next two years to remove nodules and polyps could have robbed her of her voice entirely but the indomitable Spears kept on singing.
She scored her first number one hit with the sensual Blanket on the Ground followed by Misty Blue, What I've Got in Mind, If You Want Me, 57 Chevrolet and Lonely Hearts Club. She recovered from triple bypass surgery in 1993 and performs for a still-affectionate fan base.
Philomena Begley has been Ireland’s Country Queen for forty five Years and appears in Carnegie Hall, New York, Wembley Festival, London’s Royal Albert Hall and at music festivals around the world including Spain, Portugal, New York, South Africa and The Caribbean.

The Youth Theatre has been rehearsing for this, its annual showcase production, since last October so be prepared for a punchy, foot-tapping, adrenalin-filled couple of hours where the cream of local, young performing-talent will carry on the tradition soundly established by Youth Theatre Patron James Nesbitt – who began his international career in Riverside, singing Bohemian Rhapsody on stage in 1978 while still a pupil at Coleraine Academical Institution!

Pure Joy Easter Celebration
FRIDAY 9 APRIL, 8PM
Chapter 7 are delighted to be back in the Riverside Theatre after two successful concerts in 2008 and 2009. Their new album Pure Joy was released at the 2009 concert and is available on their website at www.chapter7.org.uk
The 2010 concert is a celebration of the Easter message. What happened that first Easter week changed the face of history for ever. This concert will follow the amazing journey that Jesus took to the cross. Jesus came into our world, astounded many through His miracles, healings and teachings but died a most gruesome death. To the authorities they were getting rid of a nuisance but for us He was fulfilling the ultimate plan of God, in fact the entire reason for the Universe’s existence, in that “while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!”
Carolyn Blair will narrate this year’s concert and deliver a special Easter message

Frankie Gavin and De Dannan
WEDNESDAY 12 MAY, 8PM
Frankie Gavin is one of the genuine legends of Irish music. From his first TV appearance playing the tin-whistle at age 7, through sixteen albums with the seminal Dé Dannan, seven solo albums, his adventures in the realms of Jazz, Gospel, and Klezmer, to appearances and recordings with such luminaries as Earl Scruggs, Stephane Grapelli, Sir Yehudi Menuhin, and The Rolling Stones, ‘the prince of Irish fiddlers' is one of the outstanding performers of the past thirty years.
Part of Frankie Gavin's enduring appeal lies in his astounding technical ability and unceasing quest for innovation - musical pieces more commonly associated with the like of the Beatles and George Frederic Handel are now common place in Frankie's repertoire as an Irish musician. 2009 will see Frankie Gavin back on the road and with new De Dannan members Damien Mullane (Accordian), Eric Cunningham (Percussion/Flutes/Whistles), Mike Galvin (Bouzouki/Guitar) and Michelle Lally (Vocals).

Dublin Gospel Choir
FRIDAY 21 MAY, 8PM
From blues to rock and from rap to R'N'B, much of the music we hear today can trace it roots back to humble gospel beginnings. Since modern charts began singers have been stepping out of the churches and straight into the limelight. From Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Al Green and of course Aretha Franklin, right up the modern divas like Beyonce, Yolanda Adams and Kelly Roland, there lies a common grounding in the music of worship.
The Dublin Gospel Choir formed 13 years ago when a graduation class were inspired by the movie Sister Act. They performed to a sell-out 82,000 crowd at Croke Park in 2008. Not many Irish acts can boast of sharing the stage with music industry heavyweights such as Rod Stewart, John Legend, Damien Rice, and The Chieftains.
The choir also featured along with Chris de Burgh on a special New Year’s Day BBC Songs of Praise programme broadcast to over 35million viewers worldwide. Not confined to a religious audience, the Dublin Gospel Choir genuinely has to have broad appeal. www.dublingospelchoir.com

Using authentic 1950’s equipment such as slap double bass, replica valve amps and retro guitars they whip up the sounds of those magical 1950’s shows that became the birth of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Remember classic anthems Walk The Line, Ring of Fire, One Piece At A Time, train songs like Orange Blossom Special and ballads such as Sunday Morning Coming Down. These guys regularly play with K.T.Tunstall and Albert Lee.

The Caretaker
SATURDAY 29 MAY, 8PM
Harold Pinter’s compelling study of loneliness and power games still has the capacity to amuse, to shock and to fascinate. Davies, an elderly drifter, is given shelter by the kindly but vulnerable Aston. He quickly makes himself at home in the squalid, junk-filled attic, but an uneasy peace is fractured by the arrival of Mick, Aston’s quick-witted, streetwise younger brother. As the shadows lengthen and the three men reveal more about the past and themselves, a battle of wits begins that will have irrevocable consequences for them all.
Playwright, director, actor, poet and political activist, Harold Pinter was born on 10 October 1930 in East London. He wrote twenty-nine plays including The Birthday Party, Old Times, The Homecoming and Betrayal. In 2005, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He died on Christmas Eve 2008. One of the 20th century's great plays, a tragic comedy of stunning individuality. Daily Mail
