The FRYT has successfully created a safe space for young people to explore their world using the medium of drama and plans to produce a performance at the end of each term, with the December production and is kindly sponsored by Kerry County Council,  Kerry ETB, Kerry LCYP and Creative Ireland.

Established in 2008, the Free Radicals Youth Theatre provides workshops allowing members to devise and create their own drama and develop a wide range of performance skills.

This enables members to gain confidence, develop team working skills and perform work in a professional atmosphere. It also gives them an opportunity to explore their own identity through the expressive and performing arts and socialise creatively.

Siamsa Tíre welcomes back award winning Kerry playwright Neil Flynn and Laura Gibney as facilitators of the FRYT again this year.

The programme will also include guest speakers/workshop facilitators. This energetic team work tirelessly to inspire the group each year as they help them produce and perform collaborative works.

This year the Free Radicals Youth Theatre will return to the stage in late December with a developmental performance of exciting new work.

“In these uncertain times, it is important for outlets to be provided for our young adults so they can express themselves and develop their artistic skills in a safe environment. We are delighted that the Free Radicals Youth Theatre has been supported again this year by our partners so it can continue to grow and develop young artists. It provides a wonderful growth platform for the individuals involved both personally, in developing their talents and skills, but it can also provide a stepping-stone for future careers in the arts,” comments Róisín McGarr, Executive Director, Siamsa Tíre.
