Creative Writing Testimonial

Posted on April 29, 2016 by Act The Maggot

Amy is an inspiration! I took part in her Act the Maggot class and
creative writing class 3 years ago. What a fabulous opportunity to reach your inner creativity, in a safe, nurturing environment. Loved every minute of it.

Another Beginners Acting Class done and dusted!

Posted on April 22, 2016 by Act The Maggot

Yes, indeed, another crop of maggots finished up last night and, as usual, they surprised and entertained with great material and performances, not to mention the really way-out, hilarious improvisations they did – taking it to a whole new level! Well done. You should all be so happy and proud of yourselves. If you want, click here for information on upcoming courses.

“Act the maggot took me to a place I haven’t been since I was a child. A place of pure joy. You meet great people from all walks of life and form firm friendships. I got to express myself in a way that I could never do in any conventional adult learning scenario and it made me feel like I was 10 feet tall.”

“Act The Maggot has been a fantastic and worthwhile experience. Highly recommended.”

“I felt alive and it carried me through the following mundane days at work. I imagine it’s what Clark Kent felt while working for the newspaper. Outside he had to be boring but inside he was superman. That’s how Amy’s class made me feel.”

Wow. The feedback has been great from our recent Improver’s Course. See more testimonials here.

Well known clown artist, Carol Walsh is back with a new piece called OutRAGEous Fortune which opens at Smock Alley’s gorgeous Boy’s School space this week. I am very much looking forward to seeing Dolores in action. Apparently, she is steaming because her Shakespearean audition did not go down so well. Get ready for some angry clown that will no doubt have you in tears. Book your tickets now and if you fancy it, have a read of Carol Walsh’s blog post on what it means to be a clown. Act The Maggot is a big supporter of homegrown independent theatre and film productions. Break limbs this week, Dolores!

OutRAGEous Fortune,
A Clown Show for Adults.
Smock Alley Theatre (Boys School),
12th -14th April @ 8.00 pm.
Tickets €14 / €12 concession.
