LLSM, MA Drama & Theatre Studies) for the 2025, eight day, prestigious festival, which begins on Friday March 21st next and ends on Saturday March 29th.

Her other work involves facilitating workshops in acting, ensemble work and other aspects of theatre, including the improvement of basic stagecraft.

Ms O’Meara has a keen interest in dance and has also worked as choreographer with ‘Kids On Stage’, latter a Musical Theatre school in Tipperary. Her latest venture has been working in the area of harmonic singing, where the process of collaboratively creating and enjoying harmonies works as a healing, relaxing and grounding agent for the singers.
Finally, Ms O’Meara enjoys adjudicating at festivals and is looking forward to viewing the variety of this year’s productions at the County Tipperary Open Drama Festival in Holycross, Thurles and meeting with both the talented Drama Groups and the various audiences, each night.
