The Conal Kearney Award

by | Jul 8, 2024 | News

We would like to announce that, from the proceeds of the Strictly Ballroom evening, NPAS would like to announce their new Scholarship Award, which will be given out annually. It is with great honour we announce the “The Conal Kearney Award.”

Conal Kearny was a prolific actor in the Abbey Theatre and did incredible drama facilitation directing and drama therapy throughout all of Ireland. He directed many NPAS shows and drama classes over the years and was a kind mentor to many NPAS students in the factory!  Conal, our very close friend, passed away in January 2024, after 40 years of friendship, adventure, inspiration and showing us time and time again how art and creativity truly can change lives. And in his legacy, NPAS’s Scholarship from September 2024 will be the “Conal Kearney Award”.
