                                It is with immense pleasure and excitement that we invite past Young Critics to a unique event, commemorating 20 years of the Young Critics with Youth Theatre Ireland/ NAYD.

                                Over the past two decades, the Young Critics has brought youth theatre members from across Ireland together to see some unforgettable shows, introduce them to the art of theatre criticism, and create lifelong friendships.
                                Join us for an unforgettable reunion to see the current generation of youth theatre artists in the National Youth Theatre Production of Like We Were Born To Move by Eimear Hussey at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin on August 18th.
                                It is the perfect time to reunite and celebrate the incredible success we have achieved together. The reunion is a chance to reconnect with old friends and celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of our most innovative and beloved programmes.

                                Limited tickets available here.

                                Networking, Nostalgia, and New Memories

It will be an opportunity to forge new connections with like-minded individuals who share your passion for theatre and creativity. The event will culminate in a celebration, complete with refreshments, as we create new memories together.
