When the Town Hall fell into disrepair and close, BDG moved to Waterworld, Portrush.
In 1991, where they spent many happy years, and it was there, in 1996, that they staged their first musical Oliver!
Redevelopment of the Piazza in Waterworld meant that BDG found itself on the move again, and in 2002, they transferred to the Riverside Theatre, Coleraine, where its hugely successful musicals and plays continue.
June 2023 saw the amazing production of Kinky Boots, which received lavish praise from far and wide.
A show not to be forgotten!
In January 2025 BDG will present the brand-new musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in the Riverside, which is going to be a wonderful experience for cast and audiences alike!
