Meet Our Founder
Mary Kilduff is a Creative Producer from Dublin, with over 10 years’ experience in the theatre and events industry. Mary recently spent a year living and working in Rome while doing a Masters in Arts and Culture Management.
Her one wish, when throwing a coin into The Trevi Fountain, was to find love. It took time for Mary to realise it, but her wish came true: she fell in love, not only with the city and the food, but also the people she shared it all with. On this journey of love, Mary attended cooking classes, drank gallons of Aperol spritz, and hosted a storytelling night twice a month at the Together Network. All these experiences inspired her to create The Cookbook Club, bringing people, the love of food and storytelling together. Mary currently works part-time as the Creative Administrator at Pavilion Theatre, Dún Laoghaire, while also working on other passion projects as a freelance Creative Producer.
Some of the highlights of Mary's career include working with Druid Theatre Company in the Gaiety Theatre on a production of Sive that was attended by President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins; working on a remount of Dublin By Lamplight with Corn Exchange Theatre Company at the Abbey Theatre, the National Theatre of Ireland; and lastly, working with Australian-based company Hot Brown Honey on their 2023 tour, stopping at the Sydney Opera House and Glastonbury Music Festival in the UK.
On any given night, Mary can be found either in the front row or back stage at most venues in Dublin.
