Proposed Cultural Centre for Young People
Kildare Youth Theatre is currently in the process of evaluating the feasibility of a dedicated Centre for young people in the Newbridge or general Kildare area, as no such space currently insists.
We teamed up with Comminqué International, a team of top-level researchers, who had our members and the local community voice their desire and need for such a project.

Drama For Youth Work
