Karen Corrigan Doyle Co Founder
Karen’s journey in theatre began at just four years old, when she attended her first Speech & Drama class at Manor House. That moment marked the beginning of a lifelong passion for performance and storytelling.
She studied Speech & Drama throughout her school years, completing her London College Speech & Drama exams and competing in poetry and monologue categories at the Feis Matiu festival.
After school, Karen joined the Cameron Musical & Dramatic Society, performing in their biannual productions and gaining invaluable experience both on and off the stage. Since then, she has worked with a number of local theatre groups, including O’Connell Musical Society, PS Productions, Estuary Players, and Clontarf Players.
