CATALYST 2026
CATALYST is a collaboration between Cork Arts Theatre, Cork Opera House and Once Off Productions, which aims to provide a platform for the work of early career theatre artists in the city, and an opportunity for them to develop their practice in a professional context.
The initiative provides support for a number of early career theatre artists / young production companies who currently have a theatre project in development or a production idea brewing that would be ready to present to an audience in October.
Full details of what CATALYST offers participants can be found on the CATALYST page.
