County Limerick Youth Theatre Open Day

County Limerick Youth Theatre Open Day launch 4 films made by the group

Youth Theatre Ireland is the national development organisation for youth theatre. With 55 affiliated youth theatres in 24 counties, they support an incredible network of youth theatres offering year-round drama workshops and performance opportunities to young people aged 12 – 21 from cities, towns and villages across Ireland.  

Youth Theatres affiliated to Youth Theatre Ireland are open to everyone, and each is unique to its community and the young people in its membership. With 80% of all youth theatres existing outside of major cities and urban areas, they are the creative lifeblood for the youth in many communities, helping to develop their artistic, personal and social dimensions. As well as gaining increased theatre skills and appreciation of theatre and the arts, young people who participate in youth theatre report wider benefits for their overall well-being, including increased levels of happiness, confidence and self-esteem, a sense of belonging and improved abilities to articulate and express feelings and opinions.  

As Youth Theatre Ireland re-launch they ask that you join them, whether as a young person who would like to join a local youth theatre; or as a volunteer who wishes to set up a youth theatre; an existing drama group for young people that would benefit from affiliation to Youth Theatre Ireland; or a funder who can play a part in making more youth theatre opportunities available across Ireland; they want to hear from you.
