With their class director/school owner, Suzanne Byrne, the children, from south Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim and Fermanagh, are aged from four to 15 and today, they took part in their final rehearsal at the Abbey Centre Ballyshannon.

They have been in operation since 2009 and are very proud to be celebrating their 15th Year. They are a performance-based school and regularly take part in events such as the Bundoran St Patrick's Day Parade; Ballyshannon Carnivals, Ballyshannon Pantomimes, Fidget Feet Aerial Shows and lots more yearly Workshops.

All their work from September each year is geared towards performing in their End of Year Annual Showcases in June, which are performed in the fabulous Theatre that is the Abbey Arts Centre in Ballyshannon.

All the children from the school take part in these productions which are a mix of musical theatre, tap, singing, drama, mini-pantomimes and comedy sketches. The school also regularly perform at local events with local musicians, and professional guest artists.
