About Billie Barry Stage School

---

Highlights & Credits

Over the past 50 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, press launches and fashion photo shoots.

The children have featured in the annual Gaiety Christmas Panto since 1971. That's 48 consecutive pantos!!
