Hairy Jaysus is a biopic based on the events that led to the execution of Frank Sheehy Skeffington on Easter week 1916.
Sheehy-Skeffington was a pacifist, feminist, socialist and atheist who was murdered after being wrongly identified as a one of the rising leaders while trying to stop looting during the Dublin rebellion during Easter week in 1916.
We are hoping to raise €3000 to help provide you with the best audience experience. This money will go towards collaborating and working with musicians to record an original sound track, to record and archive and pay for materials and costs associated with the touring production which we intend to tour to various venues in Ireland.
O’Kelly's poignant drama will be performed by Paddy McEneaney freelance Actor and Artistic Director of Exit Does Theatre. Sound and set developed by Graduate IT Sligo Performing Arts Acting (PA) Dee Armstrong, Designer Musician, Composer. Graduate of IT Sligo PA (Design) Currently Studying Theatre Design at Lir Academy and a member of Kila. Paul McDonnell Designer, Technician, Graduate of IT Sligo PA (Design) has worked extensively with The Blue Raincoat Theatre Company and has also worked with the Abbey and Royal Shakespeare Company.

Hi everyone, just to let you know that Hairy Jaysus is on the road again. I have attached a flyer that has the upcoming dates.
The evening show on the 20th in Glens Centre will be a donation show. So Cost isn't an issue for anyone who wants to go and you can make a donation on the way out if wish. It is part of Exits Theatre for all policy as we try to make theatre in region as accessible to everyone, in regards to workshops, participation, performance and viewing.
We would like to thank you again for your support and hope to catch you soon perhaps at one of the shows. Some people didn’t get the opportunity to avail of their tickets at the last performance so please feel free to do so if any of the shows suit.
