Barnstorm Theatre Company

OVERVIEW

  • Description

    Barnstorm, founded in 1991, is based in Kilkenny and endeavours to establish theatre practice which can engage the wider community, with a positive bias towards access and provision for sections of the community not traditionally theatre-going, e.g. children, young people and local communities.

    To this end, Barnstorm presents professional theatre for children and young people from as young as four years old. The company engages with groups/individuals (young people and their leaders) in the practice and presentation of theatre/drama through an innovative Outreach & Education programme.
