Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin and TheatreworX have announced a new bursary to encourage the next generation of Irish talent.
This special initiative coincides with the final performances of Little Shop of Horrors, as the musical takes its final bows this weekend.
To celebrate the success of the all-Irish production, €1 from every ticket sold for the final two performances will go towards a brand new bursary fund, supporting a young performer in Ireland with a passion for the stage.
This bursary is designed to help one talented individual with support training, mentorship, or further education in the arts.
Aspiring performers are invited to submit an email (maximum 250 words) explaining why they should be chosen to receive the bursary. Submissions can be sent to littleshopcasting@bgetheatre.ie from 8 to 22 August. The winner will be announced during the week of 15 September.
Tickets for the final performances of Little Shop of Horrors are available now through Ticketmaster.
