ANNOUNCEMENT: There will be no Act The Maggot evening classes over the summer of 2012. Time to kick back and recharge in order to seriously  act the maggot again…always refining, improving, sharpening our classes!
Watch this space for new season beginning August/September. Go to About Classes page for more info.

Folks – we are delighted to be rolling out a specially designed Tuesday afternoon class at a very affordable price. See www.actthemaggot.com/chrysalis or call 0873744926 for more info.

And may the best of you – for it will only be the best of you, and even then only in the rarest and briefest moments – succeed in framing that most basic of questions, “how do we live?”

Act The Maggot attended this very interesting & thought provoking conference yesterday at Farmleigh in the Phoenix Park. See Twitter feed for more detailed info & quotes from speakers plus photos. Website for Changenation.

The conference was organised by Ashoka Ireland and 50 Social Entrepeneurs from all over the world, including Ireland (our youngest being just 19 years old!) told their stories and held workshops.

Next Tuesday 27th March we are going to see TINY PLAYS in the Project. We cannot urge you strongly enough to sign up for this event. Act The Maggot happened to be at the Project last night for Classic Stage Ireland’s production of Agamemnon (really good) and it was the first night of TINY PLAYS. What a buzz!! So much new writing. Really, really worthwhile if you want to see the scope of new writing talent from across the country. It could be any of us!! Take a look at the blurb about it anyway and think about coming along. P>S> In case you haven’t noticed Tuesday is the new Friday..great buzz in town. To go just click and join.

Our March FREE introductory taster drama workshop called Chrysalis Craic!  will take place from 3pm to 5pm (with a tea break in the middle) on Tuesday March 13th, 2012  at Cultúrlann na hÉireann, 32 Belgrave Square, Monkstown, Co. Dublin (across from Seapoint DART station). Call Amy at 087 3744926 to get a spot. Phone reservations only. Limited places.

Getting to the Cultúrlann in Monkstown from City Centre. Just minutes away from the DART station and the No.7 Dubln Bus Route

DART: you need to get off at Seapoint Station, turn immediately left at the exit and cross at the pedestrian lights, then turn right up Belgrave Road and take the first turn left that you meet. This takes you into Belgrave Square. 
BUS: The No. 7 Bus goes from O’Connell Street in the City Centre out to the Cultúrlann also, just three stops past Blackrock Village. You need to get off on Monkstown Road at the stop before Seafield Avenue. When you exit the bus go left and then turn immediately right down into Belgrave Square.

ESB Electric Aid provided funding for Gateway members to access one-on-one counselling at MyMind, their Ranelagh neighbour. Gateway is a member led mental health project and its members this week voted to invite Act The Maggot in for a Chrysalis Craic! workshop. Look forward to that!
