Ten Popular Theatrical Locations in Central Dublin: Walking Tour

Click here to access the Dublin Walking Tour

For my final project, I have compiled a list of ten of the most popular theatrical companies in Dublin. For each location, I have added a blurb on their history and founding, what sort of work they do, and things they are best known for. I examined five theatres, two resource organizations, one festival, the government funding of theatre, and the national school of acting. I traveled abroad to Ireland this past summer and studied at the school I will be discussing, The Gaiety School of Acting. While I was there, I fell in love with the culture and the theatre in Ireland. Therefore, I wanted to reminisce on my experiences a little bit as well as learn more about certain places I was unable to visit. Through
examining these ten different theatrical locations, I hope to give the viewer a glimpse into what theatre in Ireland is like, how it varies from America and other places, and the impactful work they have consistently done with theatre for social change.
