Meet the creative team behind our next main production ‘1984?’
👁️
Director: Calvin Magee
Movement Director: Dr. Subhashini Goda
Clown Mentor: Raymond Keane
Cinematography: Jaro Waldeck
Dramaturg: Kate Bauer
Lighting Design: Sophie Cassidy
Composer: Kevin Cumiskey
Projection Design: Andrew Browne

Directed by Calvin Magee, this adaptation of George Orwell’s iconic novel explores a world where creativity is banned, individuality is forbidden, and every move is monitored. Blending song, music, dance, multimedia, and clowning, the production invites audiences into a world that is both unsettling and strangely familiar. Challenging the way we think, live, and communicate, this play asks us to question the world around us and, perhaps more importantly, the world we may be heading towards.

WHAT AN OPEN DAY!

A massive THANK YOU to every young person who joined us for M.A.D Youth Theatre’s 16th Annual Open Day on Tuesday.

It was fantastic to meet so many brilliant young people. You came through the doors, got involved, took a chance and absolutely gave it everything.

The energy, creativity and enthusiasm in the room were incredible.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

We’ll be contacting successful applicants shortly, with our new members beginning their M.A.D Youth Theatre journey next week.

Unfortunately, we simply cannot offer a membership place to everyone who attended. Our numbers are limited due to the capacity of our space and health and safety requirements.

With so many fantastic young people attending, these are never easy decisions to make.

BUT THIS ISN’T THE END!

If you’re not offered a membership place this time, there will still be plenty of opportunities to get involved with M.A.D.

We’ll be sharing an Expression of Interest form for upcoming programmes, including Easter and summer programmes, specialist workshops and other opportunities open to non-members.

We also apologise to anyone who tried to call or message us during the Open Day and didn’t receive a response. It was an incredibly busy evening and we may have missed some of you.

To every young person who walked through our doors, thank you for your enthusiasm, your courage and your willingness to get involved.

Whether you join us next week or through another programme in the future, we hope this is just the beginning of your youth theatre journey.

Thank you for being M.A.D.

What an incredible night celebrating 15 years of M.A.D Youth Theatre and youth drama, creativity and service in Dundalk, County Louth and beyond.

Our anniversary gala was filled with emotion, laughter and memories, featuring videos, speeches, performances and testimonies from former and current members.

Performances included Chatroom, Midnight in the Theatre of Blood, Salt Mountain and Beyond the Border, alongside moving words from members and special guests Paul Hayes of An Táin Arts Centre and Eoghan Doyle of Youth Theatre Ireland.

Thank you to The Spirit Store, where it all began, and to our leaders, facilitators, partners, supporters, families and friends.

Most importantly, thank you to every young person who has been part of M.A.D. You are our heart, story, legacy and future.

Here’s to 15 unforgettable years and everything still to come. ❤️
