The Gate Theatre was founded in 1928 by Micheál MacLiammóir and Hilton Edwards, and very quickly built a unique reputation as a producing house for introducing international writers and artists to Ireland. The theatre is housed in a beautiful Georgian building and has a capacity of 371 seats, which makes it attractively intimate for both actors and audiences alike. 

The Gate’s vision is ‘an Open Gate where every person has access to great theatre.’ Under the shared leadership of CEOs, Róisín McBrinn and Colm O’Callaghan, an Open Gate is a civic Gate and will be a key cultural asset to Dublin’s North Inner City. 

In the coming years, we will generate new audiences and excite current ones, invest in artists of the future, deliver our GATEWAYS community engagement programme and be a supportive home to the best Irish artists and their international collaborators. As the Gate approaches its centenary in 2028, we will make its theatre a home to all stories and the Gate’s communities, so that it continues to play a defining role in Irish society.
