The Garage Theatre provides a venue for touring theatrical groups who produce a high quality of professional theatre. It also acts as a space for local amateur groups and is a resource for the local community. Named from a reference in Pat McCabe's book, "The Butcher Boy", when Francie's mother has a breakdown and he says she has gone into the 'Garage' to get it fixed! Opened in 1992 following an initiative by the VEC, it was originally funded by the VEC, Monaghan Dramatic Society and the Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaion.
