Bord Gáis Energy Theatre and TheatreworX have launched a special initiative celebrating the next generation of Irish talent. This announcement comes as the smash-hit musical LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS takes its final bows this weekend.
To celebrate the extraordinary success of the Irish production, €1 from every ticket sold for the final two performances will go towards a brand-new bursary fund. This bursary will support a young performer in Ireland with a passion for the stage.
HOW TO APPLY:
Aspiring performers are invited to submit an email (max 250 words) explaining why they should be chosen to receive the bursary. Submissions can be sent to littleshopcasting@bgetheatre.ie from today, August 8th, to August 22nd. The winner of this competition will be announced during the week of 15th September.
