INSPIRE 2019
The Civic Theatre is committed to providing access to the high quality work that it presents. In 2019, 577 children and young people attended shows at the Civic Theatre funded by patron donations under the theatres’ INSPIRE scheme.
The Civic Theatre is delighted to be working in partnership with Tallaght Community School. The Civic Theatre is working with teachers in Tallaght Community School to introduce the world of theatre to the students. The focus of the partnership are sponsored trips to The Civic Theatre to see age appropriate work. Students participating in the programme will see three/four plays in the course of an academic year. Each theatre trip is supported by a drama workshop and a Q & A session with members of the performance company.
The inspire fund covers the cost of tickets and transport to the Theatre and is open to all schools and creches in the South Dublin region.
Inspire is a fundraising scheme created and run by The Civic, Tallaght, Dublin 24. The Civic is a registered Charity (RCN: 20040765).

The boys and girls thoroughly enjoyed Tom Thumb and the story really developed their imagination and creativity – many of which wanted to draw and describe in story form when they returned to Limetree – this is a true reflection of a successful trip!”
