Jam-packed festival for young people in Limerick
It will feature theatre, music, comedy, dance, film, photography and lots more
A JAM-PACKED festival for young people will be taking place in Limerick next month.
Programmed for young people by young people, LASTA 2024 National Arts Festival will take place between June 1 and 12.
The Lime Tree Theatre / Belltable is one of seven venues nationwide who have teamed up to present this event in cities and towns across the country, from Letterkenny to Tralee, from Galway to Portlaoise.
The Lasta programme for the Limerick venue has been curated by two young Limerick curators selected through an open call - Annie Brown and Erin Fitzgerald.
One of the highlights of the festival will be a theatre performance of Boxing by Castletroy writer William Keohane. He will perform on June 7.
Based on a project originally conceived and delivered by Backstage Theatre in Longford and now in its third year, Lasta has blossomed to include venues and individual curators nationwide, and an expanding programme of exciting, multidisciplinary work.

Featuring multiple disciplines and reflecting the diversity of modern Ireland, this festival offers a unique opportunity to develop our future arts programmers and producers. The line-up for this year's festival will feature theatre, music, comedy, dance, film, photography and experiential moments promising a fresh, fun, and exciting festival.
