Intermission Episode 5 - Member's Survey 2024 (Extended Edition)

In the latest episode of the Intermission Podcast, Rebecca Feely gives us an overview on the Young Critics application process. We will be opening the applications soon, and we want to take the uncertainty out of applying. Please share with your members.

The Youth Theatre Ireland team also takes a deep dive on the Membership Survey 2024.

Did you know that 60% of our member youth theatre groups had an overall increase of members in 2023?

Or that only 22% of groups have contact with their local County Councillor?

We examine these stats and more in detail and offer advice and tips on how best to increase visibility, funding and committee building.

Hosted by Youth Theatre Ireland’s Director, Eoghan Doyle with contributions from Deputy Director Alan King , National Programme Co-ordinator Rebecca Feely , and Administrator Joanne Heffernan, this extended edition of the podcast is a must listen episode.


Packed with information, it will set you all nicely up as we embark on our first Youth Theatre Online session for 2024…

The River of WTF

The River of WTF

Welcome to this podcast hosted by members of Young Critics. Young Critics is a programme set up by Youth Theatre Ireland in which 20 youth theatre members from around the country aged 16 to 20 learn awareness and appreciation of the aesthetic of theatre, and how to describe, analyse and judge it.

The Young Critics members recently watched 2 productions done by Outside the March Theatre company, which were part of a 4 piece anthology called The Stream You Step In. In this podcast, 4 Young Critics members examine one of these pieces, called The River of Forgetfulness.

If you would like to follow Outside the March, you can find their website at outsidethemarch.ca.

This was a podcast done as part of Youth Theatre Ireland’s Young Critics programme. You can view Youth Theatre Ireland’s Website at youththeatre.ie, and the Young Critics blog at naydyoungcritics.com.
