Imagine Remembers …

A Tribute To Ted And Mary O'Regan

Ferrybank Parish Hall, Thursday 21 October, 8 pm

Free Admission

Ted O'Regan died in 2003 and his wife Mary the following year. Their passing has left a great sadness in Waterford and beyond. Several people have expressed a wish to pay tribute to the couple for their lasting contribution to the local arts community. Among the planned events is this screening of Ted and Mary's famous drama outings of the 70's and 80's.

The couple pioneered the notion of a children's arts centre in the early 70's. Each Saturday, hundreds of children would attend arts activities in Ferrybank Parish Hall, the highlight of which was an annual outing. Ted would enlist local actors for the excursion and visit historical locations as well as the seaside.

Anne Quealy managed to capture many of the drama outings on her Super8 camera. This footage hasn't been publicly screened before and is sure to jog the memories of those involved.
