The Youth Theatre Support Schemes were developed to respond to some of the needs of youth theatres where alternative funding options could not be identified.
The Youth Theatre Support Scheme is open to all affiliated youth theatres that are in good standing and have renewed their membership. Organisational and Individual members are not eligible to apply.
There are currently three stands to the Youth Theatre Support Scheme. For winter 2023, there is a total fund of €3,100 to support these schemes.
