Over the past 13 years, our shows have moved audiences all over the world. Our work and our associate artists have played a significant role in Ireland’s recent extraordinary social change and we continue, through our art, to champion and push towards equality and a fairer society.

We have developed a diverse body of work and a dynamic way of working that spans styles, genres and platforms and now involves hundreds of artists, makers and arts workers each year.

But it’s a turbulent time here at THISISPOPBABY. Following the Government announcement on March 12 regarding Covid-19 restrictions, our Where We Live festival, the culmination of 18 months work featuring over 80 artists, closed on our opening night. Since then, we have lost or postponed an entire years’ work – multiple tours, new work development, a world premiere in Dublin Theatre Festival, and the creative direction of Ireland’s 2020 Eurovision entry.

We will not be back in the theatres at all for the remainder of 2020. But that doesn’t mean we are not working away in the background. We are developing our Alice in Funderland musical into a screenplay with Treasure Entertainment; we are continuing our development work with three significant new theatre shows for 2021; we are collaborating with University College Cork on their inaugural Queer Year, and loads more in the pipeline. We are resilient and we will be back creating great nights out for you soon.

As a POP HERO, you will be part of the THISISPOPBABY family, and play an integral role in helping us realise our vision: supporting us as we electrify audiences at home and around the world; helping us continue to work with new artists each year in addition to supporting our associate artists’ dreams; and increasing audience access to, and community engagement with, all of our work.

You’ll enjoy a series of hand-picked rewards, including being a very special guest at our shows and special events, you will be the first to hear about our plans, and you will share in all of our successes.

Your support from now until the end of 2021 will specifically go towards: The creation, development and presentation of 3 new significant theatre shows; Increasing audience access to our work via community ticket schemes & ISL interpreted performances at all of our shows; and community & outreach programmes throughout the year.
