History
[edit | edit source]
The Excel was opened by then-Taoiseach Bertie Ahern on 5 May 2001. Its theatre is named after Simon Ryan (died 2011), a brother of Tony Ryan and a longtime promoter of amateur theatre.[6]
Tipperary Excel Youth Theatre Group holds an annual play, and productions touring Ireland regularly play at the Excel.[7][8][9]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Excel was used as a courthouse.[10]
In 2022, Gemma Hayes performed a show at the Excel for Mabon, an autumn equinox festival.[11][12]
It was refurbished in 2023.[10]

[edit | edit source]The Excel comprises the Simon Ryan Theatre, cinemas, an art gallery, tourism office, interpretative centre, Internet café and a genealogy research centre.[13] It also hosts a dance school.[citation needed]
The Simon Ryan Theatre has a stage measuring 40 x 27 feet (12 x 8 m). The proscenium arch is 33 feet (10 m) wide and 18 ft 7 in (5.6 m) high.[14]
