Competition 1: My First Time
Prize: A pair of tickets for My First Time Monday 8th March, 8pm at the Cork Opera House.
MY FIRST TIME - the longest running play to open Off-Broadway in years-- features four actors in hysterical and heartbreaking stories about first sexual experiences written by real people . . . just like you. My First Time comes to Cork Opera House for one night only!
It's one of the few things that (almost) all of us has in common-- whether you're Paris Hilton or Posh Spice, George Clooney or Gerard Butler, yet we rarely talk about them. Until now . . .
Was your first time - "like Christmas morning!" or "a wet afternoon in Bray?" (Story No 19553) Were you with - your "first love" or "the wan I met from the bus stop"? (Story No 7779) Were you in - "your local park" (Story No 5049) or "on the 46a" bus? (Story No 2995)
If you did it, you probably remember it, now you can hear about everyone else's!
These true stories and their unique characters are brought to life by four amazing actors in the acclaimed MY FIRST TIME. The Irish Premier stars Actors Leigh Arnold (The Clinic) Alan Devine (Louie in Fair City) Claire Tully (Columnist The Sun) and Alan Shortt one of the funniest men in Ireland.
This Irish production by Michael Scott features a number of stories taken directly from the Irish website for the show www.myfirstime.ie Used anonymously, for good reason, they tell of typical "Irish" situations; a bedsit in Cork ... in a field with an audience of bleating sheep ... on the way home from school... the back of the chipper...! In 1998, a website was created that allowed people to openly and anonymously share their own true stories about their First Times. The website became an instant phenomenon as over 70,000 stories poured in from around the globe that were silly, sweet, absurd, funny, heterosexual, homosexual, shy, outrageous and everything in between.
So come with your friends, because MY FIRST TIME will have you laughing and reminiscing about your own first time . . . and thinking about your next one.
MY FIRST TIME - I'll tell you mine, if you tell me yours

Competition 2: West Side Story
Prize: A pair of tickets for West Side Story Friday 19th March, 8pm at the Cork Opera House.
Cork Opera House is renowned for producing electrifying and powerful musicals time and time again and their in-house production of West Side Story in 2010 will be no different. Director Bryan Flynn and the creative team that brought us the musical drama, Michael Collins, now bring this thrilling presentation to the Cork Opera House stage.
More than fifty years ago, a show about New York City changed musical theatre forever. From the first notes to the final breath, West Side Story is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Arthur Laurents' book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim - a collection of standards that includes Tonight, America, Maria, I Feel Pretty and Somewhere is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. And the extraordinary, Tony Award-winning choreography by Jerome Robbins completely changed the language of Broadway dance.
This huge new production will feature forty "triple threat" actors/singers/dancers, many of whom went through arduous rounds of casting in Ireland and the UK. Their vocal talents will be enhanced by a twenty-piece orchestra led by conductor, John O'Brien.
Bryan Flynn - who has been the creative force behind many musicals at Cork Opera House including Michael Collins, Oliver, The Sound of Music, Jesus Christ Superstar and eight years of panto - will shape these sixty talented performers and a spectacular set into the major musical highlight of the Cork Opera House spring season.
Flynn promises to give this brilliant and timeless show the revival it deserves. They'll be singing, they'll be dancing, so don't miss what promises to be a wonderful show with jazzy, jagged glorious songs and swaggering, dazzling lyrics!

Competition 3: Johnny McEvoy
Prize: A pair of tickets for Johnny McEvoy Sunday 21st March, 8pm at the Cork Opera House.
From humble beginnings in the midlands of Ireland to Dublin, 1966 and playing support to an up and coming band, The Rolling Stones, Johnny McEvoy has long established himself as one of Irelands leading figures in Irish Folk.
Johnny began a seven week tour of America in 1967, a summer of Vietnam, protests and change. It was this tour that led Johnny to Carnegie Hall, New York, which is the memory that he holds dearest.
Upon his return to Ireland, Johnny took inspiration from Dylan Thomas and wrote Long Before Your Time, another no 1 hit. Over the years he has inspired and kept folk alive for many while others trends in music came and went.
Currently Johnny has released a box set, covering all songs, poetry and prose and is also recording a documentary on his life.
Cork Opera House is delighted to announce Johnny's taking to the stage on Sunday 21 March for one night only when you have an opportunity to relive and hear all the songs that made Johnny the star he is today, such as Mursheen Durkin, Nora, Long Before Your Time and The Ballad of Anne Frank.
