Supporting Artists

Jamie Beamish - Artist in Residence

Nick Kavanagh – Artist in Residence

Theatre artist Nick Kavanagh, of Curious State Theatre Company, is our ‘artist in residence’ for 2023. The Waterford-born performer, director, writer and tutor will work at the theatre throughout the year on a number of exciting new projects for Curious State, which he established in 2016. Much of this site-responsive work will be anchored within and inspired by Theatre Royal’s new urban biodiversity garden and in line with both the theatre’s and Curious State’s ‘green arts’ strategies.

Highlights planned include the development of ‘climate conscious’ workshops and theatre pieces that will engage with theatre makers, local primary and secondary schools and SETU students. The residency will also involve a research project that delves into the rich history and archives of Theatre Royal to create a new piece of theatre.

Your Visit

In the 220 years since the establishment of the Georgian playhouse which was subsequently adapted in the late nineteenth century to become the Theatre Royal we know today, Waterford has been renowned for its local musical and dramatic traditions. The Theatre Royal, often referred to as “The People’s Theatre”, has been the traditional venue for this creative activity down through the generations.

It is the home for long established amateur societies and hosted the Waterford International Festival of Light Opera since its inception in 1958. As the premiere venue in the South East of Ireland, the Theatre Royal plays host to the best national and international touring artists and companies and, with the support of Waterford City and County Council and The Arts Council, is also firmly committed to supporting artists in their professional practice.
