WYA DRAMA PRODUCTIONS

 

Each year WYA normally mounts two or three major drama productions in local theatres. We also stage some smaller pieces, such as works in progress, devised pieces from Workshops and also events in community settings.

WYA has participated in the National Festivals of Youth Theatre, hosted and participated in several Southeast Festivals of Youth Theatre and taken part in a number of international exchange projects with other youth theatres.

 

Most major WYA drama productions are performed in the theatre at the Garter Lane Arts Centre,
22A O'Connell Street in Waterford.
