Kells Theatre School enrolment now under way

Enrolment is now under way for the Kells Theatre School 2025/2026 class for children aged between 6 and 16 years old with applications closing on 19th September.

Kells Theatre School is now entering its twenty-fifth year with very successful workshops and end of year productions. Some of last year’s show items were, our mini musical ‘Harry Potter’ Comedy sketches chorus singing and solos Along with show and pop medleys, Monologues and poems. The students acted, Danced and sang well known show and pop songs and solo singers got their chance to shine.

The aim of the school is to introduce children and teens to every aspect of ‘Theatre’ for example: Acting, singing, dance and storytelling and creative writing, mime, voice training and lighting, set design, costume, mask making, props and of course performance. We have a very experienced team with Drama tutor in John Grant, singing tutor Kathleen Mc Govern, creative storytelling and writing Gaye Grant and Helena Sheridan our dance tutor.

The school was very proud to publish a book of stories written by the students during the creative class. The students will be given this overall view allowing them to discover for themselves which area of theatre is best suited to their abilities and skills as well as promoting self-confidence. The overall aim is to provide a knowledge and appreciation of drama and dance and create an opportunity for the students to perform and have an active role in a production.

This is a wonderful time to get involved in theatre as there are a lot of opportunities around not to mention having a lot of fun while making new friends and exploring your talents. There will be 3 terms to the year.

Classes will commence on Wednesday 1st October at 4pm in the Kells Scout Den Kells Business Park with 60 places available.

So come along and have fun through drama, singing, story writing, dance and fun theatre games.
