Strule Arts Centre to host play focusing on LGBTQ+ rights

A new play focusing on the rights of the LGBTQ+ community will come to the Strule Arts Centre in Omagh later this month.

Following on from the Co Tyrone town’s first ever Omagh Pride festival last year, ‘Callings’ tells the experiences of five gay/lesbian people growing up during the Troubles.

The play centres around how the people used Cara-Friend - a phoneline and befriending service set up in 1974 to support hidden LGBTQ+ communities.
