What Do We Do?

• We produce two programmes per year, one for Primary and one for Post Primary schools, all of which have an educational question at their heart, and require the students' active involvement in seeking to address that question.
• We present, for the most part, original plays by Irish writers especially developed to focus on the needs and interests of contemporary Irish students from age 4 to 18.
• We provide models of classroom drama practice that can be used by teachers to complement the everyday educational needs of their students.
• We promote students' engagement with the arts both as interpreters of high quality professional theatre and as makers of their own dramatic worlds.
• We offer a supportive and properly resourced environment for actors and other artists to develop their skills as partners in children's creative development.
• We facilitate the implementation of specific educational initiatives, particularly those involving disadvantaged pupils, by developing models of practice designed to meet the challenges inherent in such work.
