Since September 2021, The Local Creative Youth Partnership (LCYP) based at Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board, has been working with a very dedicated team of young people to develop Kilkee Youth Theatre. This performing arts initiative offers young people in West Clare a taste of performance and production for stage and screen and is presented in partnership with Clare Arts Office, Cultúrlann Sweeney and St Joseph’s Community College. For spring 2022, and a new series of taster workshops for 13 to 17 year olds in St. Joseph’s Community College. Dates and times as follows:
9 to 12 year olds: 11.00 to 12.30pm in Cultúrlann Sweeney, Kilkee Library
Feb. 26th, Mar. 5th, 12th, 26th, Apr. 2nd, 9th (final session in Kilkee Community School)
13 to 17 year olds: 1.30 to 3pm in Kilkee Community School
Feb. 26th, Mar. 5th, 12th – to be extended subject to demand
Facilitators for the youth theatre include Moyasta native Fiona Claffey-Kelly, Ennistymon resident, Jacinta Sheerin supported by a number of Clare based theatre artists each bringing a wealth of theatre training and expertise to group sessions. As society embraces a return to social activities in the coming months, Kilkee Youth Theatre members look forward to sharing their work with audiences in West Clare. Young participants in the youth theatre will experience the creation of a new, short piece of theatre and become involved in some or every aspect of a production from performance, writing, improvising, directing, costume and make-up to poster design and publicity.
Kilkee Youth Theatre offers an excellent opportunity for young people to enjoy a group activity that builds confidence and communication skills while having fun as we emerge from a period of little or no creative group activity.
