Gaiety School of Acting – The National Theatre School of Ireland (Grow from Seeds Coordinators) is a Not for Profit organisation founded in 1986 by the internationally renowned theatre director Joe Dowling in response to the lack of full time actor training programmes in Ireland at that time. The School is now widely regarded as the country’s premier training facility for actors. Its policy is to train actors for theatre, film and television. Through a committed and dedicated staff, the School has developed and expanded to its current position where over 5000 students are involved in a wide range of courses; from an intensive two year full time actor training programme to a range of courses available to students from overseas. The full time actor-training programme boasts unprecedented graduate success with actors appearing in theatre, film and television nationally and internationally.

Numerous Education and Outreach Projects have been successfully rolled out at local, national and international levels.
