Our 2024 Courses

WHAT'S INVOLVED?

For musical theatre, film and screen acting courses, students are divided into age appropriate accommodation. In keeping with the ‘arts educational’ experience and our wish to develop independence, teamwork and leadership skills, all meals, lessons and activities are taken together. Excursions and evening entertainment are combined allowing students to spend time with new friends in a relaxed manner after a packed day rehearsal or film making.

Secure Accommodation

Students live in single-gender boarding houses under care of an experienced Pastoral Care Team who act in loco parentis and responsible for the development and welfare of each student. All Teenage Stage Summer School staff and trained chaperones are employed directly by us which helps students settle quickly and helps them achieve their full potential during their stay . Our fully contained campus locations are recognised as some of the safest in Ireland. We have 24 hour campus security (including in our halls of residence) and our pastoral care team live alongside students, 24 hours a day.

Creative and Fun

The course is small and friendly, and each location offers a perfect backdrop for an exciting summer. Each day is structured to give a true taste of drama and film school life. Classes with three professional directors each morning, group and company film or theatre workshops, intensive rehearsal in afternoons, fun activities, evening masterclasses, quizzes and excursions up to lights out.
