Expressive Arts Theatre School is celebrating 30 years in Limerick. The school is designed to overcome shyness and promote self-esteem in a safe and caring environment.

Established 30 years ago by its directors, Pearl Kiely and May O’Halloran, Expressive Arts enjoys a well-earned reputation for excellence and achievement in the MidWest. These directors bring with them years of experience, both as well-known performers and teachers, and under their guidance, this Theatre School has proven to be one of the foremost of its kind in the region.

The Expressive Arts programme is designed to educate and coach children from the age of 5 years up to 18 year-olds in the skills of Drama, Singing, and Dance. Promoting and encouraging confidence and self-assuredness in each student is the primary aim of Expressive Arts, and together, with their dynamic team, they work at nurturing and developing talent in young people while instilling a lifelong love of the Arts.

“Expressive Arts was such a huge part of my childhood. Going to class is what I looked forward to most in the week. I loved the excitement of the classes, but what I cherish most is the confidence I gained while I was there. This, I have been able to carry with me through life, and for which I wish to thank the team in Expressive Arts.” said Sarah Allen, a past pupil of the school.

Over the years it has become evident to the tutors in Expressive Arts, that when children are in a safe and secure environment, confidence and talent will thrive and blossom.  This is evidenced by the many past students, who took their first tentative steps on stage, and are now leading lights on the professional stage, in the media and in the music industry. Another measure of the success of this school is the number of second-generation children, who now attend the classes.

Enrollment for this year takes place on Friday 14th September and Saturday 15th September.
