## Resource

Strabane’s beloved Alley Theatre is shutting down for the rest of 2026 and won’t reopen until early 2027 after a massive water leak turned into a multi-year repair nightmare. Originally thought to be a six-month fix, the scope expanded twice, forcing cancellation of all remaining events. The council is working with organizers to find alternative venues or reschedule shows, while ticket holders will get refunds. Though a blow to the community’s cultural heart, the goal is to return stronger for the theatre’s 20th anniversary—with a fully restored, long-lasting legacy.
