The Firkin Crane

Gaiety School of Acting

Founded in 1986 by internationally-renowned Theatre Director Joe Dowling in response to the lack of full time actor training in Ireland at the time, the school is now widely regarded as the country’s premier training facility for actors. Its policy is to train actors for the theatre, film and television industries.
Through a two-year intensive acting programme, an individual will grow in confidence and develop techniques which enable them to respond to the challenges of theatre, film and television while also being pro-active in the development of new work.
The school also provides an extensive programme of part-time courses for adults, children and young people.
