General Information

All-Heart Inclusive Theatre is an engaging theatre programme for young adults (aged 16-25) living with intellectual disabilities. It is an Offaly Down Syndrome Association funded initiative, run in partnership with Birr Theatre & Arts Centre. Developed through direct consultation with families, the programme responds to a clear gap in creative and social opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities, particularly post-school.

We will run another seven-week term starting: Saturday 7th November, 3.30-5.30pm at Oxmantown National School, Birr (R42 T271).

Sessions will be led by experienced theatre facilitator Calvin Magee, and supported by local Creative Support Workers. A modest participation fee of €40 will apply. Participants should bring their own food and drinks. For additional information or any queries, please contact Emma Hanley, Project Coordinator at emmahanley@birrtheatre.com
