Smock Alley Theatre

It's simple to pass right past this plain structure without realizing that within is a center for dance and innovation.
But once you enter, the oddball church-like setting with Gothic windows and stunningly sculpted ceilings consistently generates the wow-factor.
Dublin's Oldest Newest Theatre is Smock Alley Theatre, founded in 1662.
Smock Alley Theatre, which was established in 1662, reopened in 2012 following a daring renovation.
It hosts a dynamic, varied program and has two performance venues with walls from the 17th century.
