BARNSTORM THEATRE COMPANY COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Barnstorm Theatre Company Company Limited By Guarantee is a leading Irish, non-profit theatre organisation based in Kilkenny. It creates and produces high-quality theatrical experiences that are made by, with and for children, young people and families, championing community-driven storytelling across the region.

The company's portfolio ranges from contemporary reinterpretations such as *The Words of The Accused* and the epic *Alice Project* (a modern retelling of the Kilkenny Witch Trials) to classic Irish drama, exemplified by its recent staging of John B. Keane's *Sive* for Curriculum Play Live 2025. Barnstorm also runs a vibrant Youth Theatre, offering a weekly creative space for 10- to 18-year-olds, and provides outreach programmes that connect schools, groups and local communities with professional theatre experiences. In addition, it engages audiences through a behind-the-scenes podcast and regular casting calls, and is currently seeking a visionary Producer to lead its next chapter.
