The next round of auditions for the Youth Theatre Company will take place in Autumn of 2024.
Young people who wish to to audition for this course must have completed at least one term in another Young Gaiety course. This is to ensure that they have adequate confidence and experience for the course.
Throughout the year members of the company will expand their acting skills and get first hand experience running a theatre company. Each year, the company produces a showcase of new work created by the members from scratch at the end of term one and a full length production at the end of term three. In the Youth Theatre Company, you will be involved in all aspects of running a company. This will include fundraising, publicity, writing, acting, sound design, costume design and much more.
The Youth Theatre Company is led by theatre professionals, with external workshop practitioners invited in to do guest workshops with the company in a variety of performance skills.
This course is a stepping stone for young people who are serious about theatre. Many past Youth Theatre Company members now work professionally in the industry.

Brigit: Dublin City Celebrating Women returns for a fourth year of city-wide celebrations from Friday, January 31st to Monday, February 3rd, 2025!
Brigit 2025 celebrates Imbolc and the Celtic goddess Brigit. In early Celtic times, this season was not only a time to mark the awakening of nature after the winter months, but a time for bringing new ideas and projects into the burgeoning light, for growing what we have been reflecting on through the previous season. Brigit was and still is associated with ideas of inspiration, healing, magic, smithcraft, wisdom, poetry, protection, fire, and the hearth.
These guiding concepts form the basis of our city-wide celebrations as we aim to shine a light on the lasting legacy of Brigit and the ways in which contemporary women embody the spirit of the goddess.
