The Arts Office of Roscommon County Council has introduced a new support for amateur drama this year in the form of a scholarship to the popular Drama League of Ireland Residential Summer School which takes place at the University of Limerick from 19th to 26th of July 2025 (dates subject to confirmation by DLI).
The Drama League of Ireland (DLI) is the national representative body for amateur drama groups, societies and individuals.
Arts Officer Rhona McGrath outlines that “the Summer School facilitates the participant’s artistic development by furthering their knowledge and experience under the guidance of Irish and international theatre professionals. Places are highly sought after”.
There are many courses on offer at this year’s summer school for actors and directors, designed to cater for a wide variety of interests and levels of experience. The scholarship, valued at €600, will cover the cost of a residential place at the Summer School and includes tuition, accommodation and meals. Further information on the DLI is available at www.dli.ie.
Amateur members of drama societies in County Roscommon are invited to apply for this scholarship.
