Out Of The Box Productions is a new production company based in Fermanagh that plans to cover both the Tyrone and Fermanagh area to produce original work and host mini-events.

A spokesperson for Out Of The Box Productions said: “We aim to be a professional company and to provide opportunities for local talent.

“We will focus on theatre first, with intentions on expanding to film later. However, to start with, we are starting small.”

The company is hosting its first mini-event in Granny Annie’s, Enniskillen on Friday, May 26.

“It is to be a night of spoken word – stories/monologues, and poetry,” said the spokesperson, adding: “We are currently seeking actors and writers to take part in our fundraiser event, which is called ‘AH, Just Scratchings’.”

Out Of The Box Productions are providing a platform for original work to be performed on a local stage. If you are interested in performing your written work, you’re invited to contact the company and send your submissions to outoftheboxproductions2023@gmail.com.

“Assuming that our event takes off with a hit, we may plan for more mini-events around Enniskillen and maybe even Omagh town in an effort to get our name around, raise funding, until we are ready to hit stages like the Ardhowen Theatre, Strule Arts Centre or even the Alley Theatre in Strabane,” said the spokesperson.

“Our mini-event is a chance to network and hopefully it forms the basis for a Writers Room, especially those who are interested to collaborate and produce plays,” said the spokesperson, continuing: “What Out Of The Box Productions hopes to achieve is to not only produce new work, but to let Tyrone and Fermanagh have its own literary revival.

“We are a very young company finding our legs; we are like a baby toddler learning how to walk,” they added.
