Recently appointed manager of Cork Arts Theatre (fondly known as the CAT Club), Fin Flynn says she wants to see the theatre showing more work from emerging artists. Having been the company manager of the famed Corcadorca company in Cork for 17 years, Flynn has been at the vanguard of new theatrical work often presented in site-specific locations. 

Now, she is keen to promote the intimate space that is the Cork Arts Theatre with its audience capacity of 100. "It is perfectly placed for emerging artists who are not going to approach the 650-seater Everyman, starting off," she says.
