Ferdia Fitzsimons

Actor Director Creator Facilitator

I am an actor/ director and a choral scholar trained in vocal performance. My background is in Musical Theatre and I have a strong interest in creating new pieces of musical theatre that speak to the issues we face today.

I am also interested in making theatre in unconventional spaces, taking classic plays and reinventing them to reflect current political issues.
