At Theatre Tricks Drama & Communications we pride ourselves in giving the opportunity to each student to shine in their own way through drama and communication skills, which will give them lifelong benefits and lasting memories. Students are taught in a fun, creative and safe environment.  As well as enjoyment there are many reasons for students to attend Theatre Tricks; children who are shy are encouraged to grow in self-confidence, those who find social interaction hard find themselves mixing without difficulty, and those with speech anomalies are rectified without realising it. We take pride in seeing student’s imaginations, confidence and self-esteem develop through constant encouragement and watch them ignite the light to shine as children, teenagers and adults!

Susan has over 25 years of teaching Speech and Drama, running her own school and teaching students privately on an individual basis or in small groups. Susan also spends her time delivering tailor made programmes to primary, secondary, third-level education facilities and corporate organisations. She is also a facilitator of Public Speaking, Interview Skills, Presentation Skills Training and a Wellbeing Programme to corporate organisations. 

She has written and produced many plays and scripts for young adults and children, many of the works performed by Theatre Tricks are designed and written especially for the students, This bespoke approach helps keep our teaching vibrant and dynamic. Plays include Alice in the 21st Century, Oliver, The Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins A Magical Journey, Neverland not as you Know it, Matilda Meets Gru and The Wonders of Wonka. 

“The best part of my day is seeing clients leave a session with a smile on their face, connected and confident to become leaders in both their professional and personal life, it is worth its weight in gold.”
