Roscommon will become a hive of activity next month as drama groups from around the country get set to thread the boards.
The Roscommon Drama Festival takes place this year from March 7th to 15th with some of Ireland's best amateur actors in attendance.
Jimmy Hoban is the PRO of the festival and says it's become a major talking point in towns and villages across Ireland.
He says tickets are selling fast for this year's performances as preparations continue ahead of opening night at Roscommon Arts Centre.
