A few photos from our recent participation in the Youth Theatre Ireland, YT Connects programme. WACT connected with Mr Sands Youth Theatre in Bray. Two fantastic days out, learning new skills with a focused effort to make new friends with a shared love of youth theatre. Huge thanks to for the opportunity, Mr. Sands Youth Theatre for being so much fun and to all the facilitators, volunteers, funders and organisations that came together to make it happen. A particular shout out to for hosting the event when it was WACT's turn to host and to for feeding us all!
