“As darkness falls on that magical date, every year, I go outside and look up”
Following an open call for submissions of Christmas memories, Fregoli Theatre Company have created 'Home For Christmas', a short film to be released online with Roscommon Arts Centre on December 8 at 7pm.
Filmed in Roscommon and using imagery and sounds inspired by the submissions, Fregoli presents these stories and memories in a short piece filled with joy and heartbreak that will inspire warm thoughts of home. Fregoli strongly believe in the transformative nature of theatre and sharing stories and are honoured to share these beautiful contributions.
The film, directed by Tara Finn and shot by Roscommon based company Spicy Dog Media, will be released free of charge but Fregoli are asking viewers to keep a number of charities in mind and perhaps, give what they can after watching the film.
Their proposed charities are Galway Simon Community, a homelessness and housing service for Roscommon, Galway and Mayo, Pieta House, which provides free therapy to those engaging in self-harm, with suicidal ideation, or bereaved by suicide and St Vincent De Paul provides a wide range of services for vulnerable people locally and nationally.

'Home for Christmas' was created as part of Fregoli Theatre’s residency in Roscommon Arts Centre and is supported by Creative Ireland and Arts Council Ireland.
