About Druid

Druid began as a bold idea: to create Ireland’s first professional theatre company outside of Dublin. There were few resources with which to build a theatre company in the West of Ireland in 1975, but through sheer dedication, and with the support of the Galway community, founders Garry Hynes, Marie Mullen, and Mick Lally made this bold idea a reality. That reality has since become an international success story of extraordinary dimensions. 

Druid gratefully acknowledges the generous support it receives from all of its funders and sponsors—in particular the Arts Council of Ireland, Smurfit Westrock, McDonogh Capital Investments, University of Galway, Galway City Council, and our community of Druid Friends and Supporters around Ireland and the world. 

The sets and costumes for this production of Endgame were created by Druid in Galway, at their Ballybane Scenic Workshop and Nuns’ Island Costume Department. 

Endgame is presented through special arrangement with Georges Borchardt, Inc. on behalf of the Estate of Samuel Beckett. All rights reserved.  

About Irish Arts Center

Founded in 1972 and based in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City, Irish Arts Center is a home for artists and audiences of all backgrounds who share a passion or appreciation for the evolving arts and culture of contemporary Ireland and Irish America. We present, develop, and celebrate work from established and emerging artists and cultural practitioners, providing audiences with emotionally and intellectually engaging experiences in an environment of Irish hospitality. Steeped in grassroots traditions, we also provide community education programs and access to the arts for people of all ages and ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds. In a historic partnership of the people of Ireland and New York, Irish Arts Center recently completed construction on a state-of-the-art new facility to support this mission for the 21st century, and has begun work on the project’s second phase, the redevelopment of our adjacent original 51st Street building.
