The Gaiety School Of Acting has been running classes in Navan since October 2006, and has been constantly growing in popularity.  We now offer 4 different levels of class, the Drama Workshop and the Performance Workshop, for students aged between 7 and 13, and our ever popular Youth Theatre Workshop for 14-18 year olds. Due to demand, we have now rolled out our Youth Theatre Company in Navan under the guidance of our tutor Seamus Quinn.

Navan Young Gaiety Saturday School

The Young Gaiety Saturday School is the most comprehensive acting course available to young actors in Ireland. The yearlong programme consists of 3 ten-week terms. The structure of the courses is both flexible and comprehensive, allowing students to participate in anything from a 10-week course to a 3-year cycle.

Drama Workshop

Have fun, learn drama skills, meet new friends, gain confidence and expand your imagination. These lively group workshops develop teamwork and improvisation techniques, culminating in a devised showcase at the end of term 3. This course is ideal for students who are only beginning to study drama and who want to build their confidence and creativity.

Performance Workshop

Learn the mechanics of acting. In the Performance Workshop students develop voice, movement, characterisation, improvisation, ensemble and devising skills. Each term, a specific performance skill will be introduced such as dance, singing, mime or puppetry. This course is ideal for those students who are serious about developing their acting skills.
