                                This is one of our most popular programmes, and for good reason.

                                The Young Critics combines seeing theatre, making new friends, and expressing your opinions. It’s an opportunity to work with a professional theatre critic, Karen Fricker, and travel to Cork and Dublin to arts festival to see Irish and international work.

                                You must be aged 16-21 to apply, be part of an affiliated youth theatre, and available for all the dates listed on the application.

                                Applications can be found here, and close March 22nd. If you’d like more information you can check out the Young Critics page on our website, or email National Programme Co-Ordinator Rebecca Feely rebecca@youththeatre.ie
