An Taibhdhearc - Amharclann Náisiúnta na Gaeilge, Irish national theatre in central Galway, Ireland.
The building contains a main stage with auditorium seating, multiple rehearsal spaces, and technical facilities for professional productions in Irish language.
Founded in 1928, An Taibhdhearc emerged as Ireland's first Irish-language theatre, establishing a new platform for native dramatic expression.
The theatre produces original plays, adaptations of international works, and regular performances that maintain Irish as a living theatrical language.
Performances take place throughout the year, with tickets available through the theatre's website or at the box office on Middle Street.
Each production incorporates English subtitles displayed above the stage, allowing non-Irish speakers to follow performances in the original language.
