The Connections Kildare youth theatre festival took place recently at the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge.
Hosted by Newbridge’s Crooked House Theatre Company, the two-day event saw performances from Ardclough Youth Theatre, Kildare Youth Theatre and Straffan Drama Club.
Ardclough Youth Theatre performed The Ramayana Reset; Kildare Youth Theatre staged Like There’s No Tomorrow and Straffan Drama Club took to the stage with Remote.
The Straffan group said that its teenage members, aged 12-16, have become empowered by working on this play as it raises awareness of many themes from climate change and social media to mental health and positive choices.
