Youth Theatre Ireland's Director/ CEO Eoghan Doyle hosts this month's edition.

Eoghan has news and insights on opportunities including Membership Renewal 2024, The Youth Theatre Practice Symposium, Member's Audition Clinics, The Facilitator's Directory and the Young Critics Panel.

The Young Critics Panel at Dublin Theatre Festival.

This is an edited version of the Young Critics Panel discussion held at Project Arts Centre, Dublin on Sunday October 8th 2023.

Dr. Karen Fricker chairs the panel discussion around three productions:Somewhere Out There You (Nancy Harris & Wayne Jordan, Abbey Theatre), Distillation (Luke Casserly, Goethe-Intitut) and Out of the Blue (Silke Huysmans & Hannes Dereere, Project Arts Centre).

The conversation then extends to questions around what constitutes theatre, what the young people have learned during the programme and how theatre can be more accessible for young and disabled people.

This podcast is supported by the Arts Council andThe Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.
