The SFX City Theatre is in Upper Sherrard Street, in the northern inner city of Dublin. It is named after the St Francis Xavier Hall and there has been a theatre or community centre on the site since the middle of the 19th century. In the 1950s it was used by the RTÉ Symphony Orchestra. In the 1960s to 1980s it was used as a concert hall. In 1996 Michael Flatley held auditions and created his Lord of the Dance show in the theatre. In 1999 it was established as a theatre, studio and rehearsal place. In 2004, the City Theatre Trust was established as a 'not for profit' company to administer the building. In 2005 Michael Flatley returned to the SFX for auditons of his new show Celtic Tiger.
