Drama schools combine to offer youth theatre sessions
Siamsa Tíre has announced a new youth theatre residency with a local drama school.
Starting on January 14, classes will run weekly in Siamsa Tíre, led by drama professionals from the West End House School of Arts on New St.
Young people aged over 12 are invited to a free taster session on December 17 in Siamsa Tíre from 12 - 2pm with Jessica Plunkett.
Places are limited, so it is recommended to book early for both the taster session and the Youth Theatre term.
“It has been a priority for us to establish a Youth Theatre Club because it was Donie Courtney’s ambition to see this happen in his home county. To have a residency at Siamsa Tíre for a group of young people who want to come together and create their own work is simply magic. It’s exactly what we’re about at West End House and we’re already looking forward to seeing what this beautiful space inspires,” Creative Director at West End House, Jessica Courtney Leen, said.
The West End House School of Arts, which was founded by the late Donal Courtney (Jessica Courtney Leen's uncle), and actor Michael Fassbender, has been successfully running acting classes with secondary school students, visiting international students and adults since September 2021.
