The Drogheda School of Performing Arts has been in existence since 1997. From very small beginnings, a class of less than ten held on Thursday evenings, the school now has over four hundred students with classes held every day of the week.

In 1998 Louth Leader, the EU funded company for rural development, gave the school grant aid which made it possible to restore The Little Duke Theatre. Restoring the theatre and therefore giving the school a space specifically for training and the performance of student shows, has been instrumental in the rapid development of the school. The Little Duke Theatre has also been used as a venue for some professional productions, poetry readings and music recitals. Click here for more about the Drogheda School of Performing Arts .......
