The Lir Young Actors’ Programme is designed to give young performers a taste of what it is like to study at conservatoire level. The course is designed for young people with a passionate interest in performing who may be thinking of applying to The Lir or a similar drama academy or have an interest in theatre and would like to explore the craft further.

The programme introduces young performers to the reality of intensive training, replicating two weeks in the life of a full-time acting degree. The course will also provide an introduction to the skills required to become a professional actor. Classes focus on the core modules of Acting, Voice and Movement and are led by The Lir’s core teaching staff. The course also prepares students intending to audition for drama schools covering audition technique, and the choice and delivery of audition monologues.
