“Act Out Youth Theatre have responded to the current challenges of COVID-19 restrictions by being as flexible & adaptable as possible.

We are proud to say our weekly workshops & other projects, have continued to operate quite successfully over Zoom for the majority of the last 18 months, but we are now very excited to get back into the space together.

We are delighted to be re-opening our weekly workshops to young people in the Meath area aged 13+.”
