PROJECTS
Our work is developed in a variety of ways, from new writing to devised work, but always with artistic collaboration and respect. Theatre is built on partnerships- between artists, companies, venues, communities and of course audiences.
In development, August 2024
This new musical will be a collaborative project created by director/designer Sinéad O’Donnell-Carey and composer/musician/performer Ophelia McCabe. We are exploring themes of love and prejudice through the modern lens of gender and identity.

Éist
Westport Town Hall, Feb 2023
This play by Mary-Lou McCarthy for children aged 7-10 was created in collaboration with a group of local people who generously shared their stories of Wesport. Artist Nathalie El Baba and Mary-Lou also worked with local schools to create some of the set and props for the show, which explored Westport’s colourful past.
Whodunnit?
The Great Art Robbery
Dublin and Melbourne Fringes, 2022
An interactive Zoom mystery, Whodunnit? gives young people the chance to play a character, interrogate other suspects, and solve a crime! Created with Mollie Molumby with original composition and sound design by Lara Gallagher.
Podcast, 2020-2022
Inspired by the first Covid lockdown, we commissioned and produced four series of audio stories for ages 6-10. Languages include Irish, Polish, Arabic, and Romanian, and the stories range from stargazing to flights of imagination to lost dogs to aliens, and much much more.
The Lonsdale Project
Riverbank Arts Centre, 2020-2022
Originally a play by Sian Ní Mhuirí which previewed at Riverbank the day the first Covid lockdown was announced, the Lonsdale Project was later turned into a film to be shown alongside workshops about women in science and crystallography.
National Opera House, April 2024
This new play by Alison Ní Mháirtín brims with wonder and play. Irish language, music and mythology combine with puppetry, opera and some very silly socks to create an epic journey from a young girl’s own house to the National Opera House.
Joy!
by Púca Puppets
Civic Theatre, June 2025
This piece in development is based around a puppet that grows in response to the joy it is surrounded by. It is an interactive, site specific piece featuring live music and brand-new composition by Denis Clohessy, and a puppet designed and built by Niamh Lawlor.
Touring rural schools, spring 2025
Brigid and Maggie have been travelling the world with the Museum of Believing. They uncover, excavate and preserve objects and their incredible stories, from a rhino horn to a fairy door. Now they have arrived in your small rural primary school, because they have heard that here is where they can finally find... the key to all knowledge.
“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the hard work you put into this. You really give so much joy to these kids. Especially my daughter. She found the entire experience so amazingly wonderful and could not stop talking about it. Even in bed she literally fell asleep talking about the entire experience.”
