Welcome to the first episode of the Intermission Podcast where we bring you all the youth theatre news you need to know!

Welcome to this podcast hosted by members of Young Critics. Young Critics is a programme set up by Youth Theatre Ireland in which 20 youth theatre members from around the country aged 16 to 20 learn awareness and appreciation of the aesthetic of theatre, and how to describe, analyse and judge it.

The Young Critics members recently watched 2 productions done by Outside the March Theatre company, which were part of a 4 piece anthology called The Stream You Step In. In this podcast, 4 Young Critics members examine one of these pieces, called The River of Forgetfulness.

If you would like to follow Outside the March, you can find their website at outsidethemarch.ca.

This was a podcast done as part of Youth Theatre Ireland’s Young Critics programme. You can view Youth Theatre Ireland’s Website at youththeatre.ie, and the Young Critics blog at naydyoungcritics.com.
