Kevin is passionate about the long closed West Cork Railway and has
adapted his house to accommodate an extensive model of the railway line. Spending his days communing with his model train set he unexpectedly discovers romance. Inspired by the rich local heritage of West Cork, The Clonakilty Choo Choo is a new one man show, a comedy and part historical documentary about the West Cork line. Including archive film footage of the Railway, together with model trains and figurines from the 1950’s and performed by local actor and director, Donie Walsh, supported by ASM Megan Ni Shearraigh, this touching and humorous production will appeal to old and young alike. TICKETS AVAILABLE ON THE DOOR €14 Concessions €9 |

About the centre and theatre...
Tracton Arts & Community Centre is located in beautiful, rural surroundings near the village of Minane Bridge, County Cork. It offers a broad range of facilities in a magnificently restored and extended old school house including conference room facilities and a theatre. Hosting a range of activities to suit young and old, passive or active, the community centre has become the heart of local community life; from exercise classes to art classes, and meetings for mothers & toddlers to activities for the retired. The attached Inkwell Theatre has hosted a wide variety of shows; from local, amateur drama groups and choirs through to international performers such as the Vanbrugh Quartet, Luka Bloom and Mick Flannery.
The community centre comprises two large rooms suitable for e.g. sports classes, parties and meetings, and the theatre is a 120 seat venue with a modular stage, and full sound and lighting equipment. With the stage packed away it becomes a flexible, airy space suitable for a variety of activities and events.
Outside the grounds are being thoughtfully landscaped, there is a large car park, a running track of almost 400m and a purpose built bread & pizza oven.

The Knocknamanagh Old School Story...
From a ruin...
|
...to a modern community centre and theatre.
|
The building that is now Tracton Arts & Community Centre is a rare surviving example in Ireland of a two-storey Georgian National School, and is on the Register of Protected Structures (ref-Cork County Council RPS 00662). Threatened with demolition by Cork County Council in 2003, it was acquired by Tracton Community Council in 2006, and a specific committee (KOST - Knocknamanagh Old School Trust) was established to oversee the restoration and development.
