Courses (Adult)

Courses with the Gaiety School of Acting can be a 10 week experience in nurturing your creativity and confidence, or the beginning of an exciting journey into the world of acting. One of our students started the classes because he wanted to improve his ability to speak in front of people, and ended up playing the lead in one of our Adult Theatre Company performances...

The Introduction to Drama class is lead by George Hanover, best known for her performances with Snatch. Laughter guaranteed during the classes.

The Acting for Camera classes are our Cork Artistic Director's pet classes: she has just started her PhD with the University of Wales in Screen Actors Training, and always finds new ways of improving the students skills.

And if all that training should not be enough: the studio classes on Friday evenings for experienced students have proven to be an ongoing challenge for the most dedicated students!
