Loophole, a new play by John McManus, is staged by Acorn Players at Townhall Arts Centre in Cavan town on Saturday, 3 October 2026 at eight in the evening. It is a single-night date in the centre’s autumn drama programme, arriving between a run of touring folk and pop shows, and one of the few dedicated straight-theatre dates in the venue’s October schedule.
Townhall Arts Centre sits at the centre of Cavan town’s live programme, and its theatre dates share the same stage used for the venue’s music and comedy shows through the rest of the year. Acorn Players staging a new script by a named playwright as a single evening performance is the standard model for local and regional drama groups presenting new writing, distinct from the venue’s touring music and comedy dates. The venue has not published a full synopsis for Loophole at the time of writing, which is typical for a show still some months out, so anyone wanting plot detail or casting information is better served checking closer to the date through the centre’s own listings or by phoning the box office directly. Booking through the venue’s ticketing platform is the reliable way to secure a seat and confirm the ticket price.
Townhall Arts Centre is on Townhall Street in the centre of Cavan town, within walking distance of the town’s main shopping streets and the bus station. Cavan town has regular Bus Éireann coaches from Dublin, and public parking is available in the town centre car parks nearby.
Cavan town’s compact centre makes it easy to grab dinner nearby before the show, with Farnham Street and Main Street both a short walk from the venue. There is more to see in Cavan and across Co. Cavan.
