Hello, my name is Sam, I’m a member of Kildare Youth Theatre and I am an ambassador for Youth
Theatre Ireland for Cruinniú na nÓg.
In school, I have been very lucky to have the privilege of doing the new Drama, Film and Theatre
Studies subject. Through this new subject, I have been introduced to Kildare Youth Theatre as they
come into our school every week to do workshops with the class. I really enjoy these workshops and
they have introduced me to Kildare Youth Theatre activities outside of school, including workshops
hosted by Youth Theatre Ireland.
Personally, my favourite part about being creative is the collaborative aspect. Getting to act in plays
and make movies with my friends is something I really enjoy doing.
My advice to anyone wanting to get involved in any creative discipline would be to go out and make
your art, whatever that means to you and try to do it as part of a group. If you’re looking for a group to
be creative with, why not join your local youth theatre or get involved with some of Youth Theatre
Ireland’s brilliant events happening nationwide.’
