Amongst the theatrical presentations have been held here, Buck Jones and the Body Snatchers, which sold out at the 2009 Dublin Theatre Festival, and Wonderland’s production of Brendan Behan’s The Hostage, which was also a huge success in the same year.
Buck Jones was performed in all parts of the Pearse Centre, including the first floor rooms in the Georgian house, the new theatre, and the courtyard area for a crypt scene. Both traditional and electronic music sessions have taken place in the theatre, as well as céilís, musical recitals, drama school showcases, and many film screenings.
Both the theatre and the reception rooms in the house are used regularly by groups for rehearsal purposes. The house has hosted several art exhibitions, with the restored Georgian rooms providing a very attractive hanging space. Palestinian traditional music in the theatre, Robert Ballagh’s Tír agus Teanga exhibition in 2001 was very popular, as was the sold out one-night-only exhibition of the work of Palestinian cartoonist Naji Al Ali in 2013.
