Testimonials
"Being part of Emer's drama school when I was younger was a really positive experience for me. It helped me grow in confidence, express myself creatively, and make friendships with people who shared similar interests. I also learned important skills like teamwork and communication, while having fun performing and working towards shows together. I have continued to be involved in drama since. I’m currently involved in the drama society in TUDublin, we did a performance of Romeo and Juliet in April 2026."

"Emer Halpenny created such an engaged and supportive environment for us as young actors. It was obvious to us that her drive to help and teach wasn't just a hobby or a job, but something she was really passionate about. Emer's enthusiasm gave me the confidence to keep going and keep trying so that I could become a better actor. She was always available to give advice or even just chat about future steps and where we could go to keep honing our skills. I wouldn't have the passion I do now for film, theatre or acting without Emer Halpenny."

"My son and daughter attended Emer's drama school for many years and both got so much out of it. Emer has a unique gift for seeing the whole person and providing an environment where they can flourish as themselves without pressure or pretence. Emer gave fantastic opportunities to play roles, as well as encouraging scriptwriting and self expression. Our years with Emer Halpenny's Drama School were very worthwhile and enjoyable."
