đźŽâś¨ So proud to finally share this amazing project with you all: “College Players — A Century of Theatre 1926-2026”!
Over the last 4 months, my husband Ken Coleman and I have poured our hearts into this 252-page book and exhibition. A massive shout-out to authors and editors Joan McGarry, Niall Moore, and Dave Griffin for their incredible detective work! 🕵️‍♀️📚 They dug deep to uncover every detail, date, photo, programme, and story, weaving them into a stunning historical narrative.
On the design side, Ken created the striking cover and inside covers, while we worked side-by-side scanning and editing the hundreds of images provided. I then handled the full book and layout design—selecting the font styles, placing every image, and crafting unique heading styles, colours, and formatting to bring the content to life. 🎨💻
It’s been an absolute honour to use our graphic design skills to celebrate College Players’ rich legacy and their huge impact on Limerick’s art and culture. 💚
Huge thanks to Margaret Yelverton Corr, Project Manager at College Players, for her leadership and vision throughout this journey. We’re also so grateful to the entire team for their trust and the fantastic teamwork that made this possible! College Players Theatre Company
