Amharclann Ghaoth Dobhair known also in translation as Gweedore Theatre, is a local theatre in the Gaeltacht region of Derrybeg in the parish of Gweedore in County Donegal. It seats over 200 patrons, and ever since it was opened by actress Siobhán McKenna, it has staged hundreds of plays in the Irish language. Its troup also performs Gaelic pantomimes.
Aisteoirí Ghaoth Dobhair was a group of actors founded in Srath na Corcra, Derrybeg in 1932, and they gained critical acclaim and travelled as far as Glasgow to perform.
