Leitrim Youth Theatre (Carrigallen) is a professional youth theatre programme consisting of both junior and senior groups led by highly skilled theatre facilitators providing opportunities for young people who wish to be involved in acting and theatre. Members get to take part in weekly workshops, explore their creativity, develop new skills, take part in performances, go on theatre trips, and go behind the scenes to see how the technical side of theatre happens.

This year we are delighted to include a new youth theatre group, Bright Sparks, for young people who would enjoy engaging in Youth Theatre that is provided at a more relaxed pace particularly young neurodiverse people and those that find the school system tough.

For everyone Leitrim Youth Theatre is a supportive youth network where members develop their creativity, gain self confidence and make new friends.

Leitrim Youth Theatre in Manorhamilton is housed in the Glens Centre. Members attend weekly workshops that offer strong skills training. Many members later become involved in wider community-based theatre projects or going on to further training.
