History
Corrib Theatre began in 2012 with a reading of A Night in November by Marie Jones, and now produces a full three-play season. Founding Artistic Director Gemma Whelan was born and raised in Ireland and worked in the San Francisco Bay Area as a teacher and freelance director for over 25 years before moving to Portland.
Corrib Theatre is the only Irish Theatre company in the American West.
Cuireadh tús le Corrib Theatre - Amharclann na Coirbe – i 2012 le léamh ar A Night in November (Oíche i mí na Samhna) le Marie Jones, agus anois táirgeann sé séasúr iomlán trí-imirt. Rugadh agus tógadh in Éirinn an stiúrthóir bunaitheach, Gemma Whelan, agus bhí sí ag obair i gceantar San Francisco Bay mar oide agus mar stiúrthóir neamhspleách ar feadh breis agus 25 bliana sular aistrigh sí go Portland.
Is é Corrib Theatre (Amharclann na Coirbe) an t-aon foireann garimiúil amharclainne in iartharna Stáit Aontaithe.
