Agency

Over the past 47 years the Billie Barry Kids have appeared consistently in productions in all of Ireland's leading theatres and in London's West End. The School boasts an abundance of movie credits and major TV roles. The Billie Barry Kids have performed on most of RTE's home produced light entertainment programmes. Our students are regularly cast in TV commercials, radio voice-overs, music videos and fashion photo shoots. The children have featured in the annual Gaiety Christmas Panto since 1971. That's 41 consecutive pantos!!

Entry into the Agency is automatic on enrolment to the School, if so desired, at no extra charge. Students matching the casting directors' requirements will be sent for auditions/castings. Pupils should view professional work as a bonus and auditions as a valuable life-skill experience however we cannot guarantee that every child will be selected by the external casting agents.
