Growing from strength to strength.
Founded in 1982 to introduce young people to the joy of drama and musical theatre, Stage Door & More has grown into a trusted resource for families, schools and organisations across Leinster.
What began as children's classes has expanded into a full range of services — all rooted in the same belief: creativity builds confidence, connection and resilience.
We provide a welcoming, healthy environment where students explore acting, singing, dance, improvisation, mime and stagecraft. Through varied, fun activities and performances, every learner develops skills, makes friends and grows in self-belief — always supported, always encouraged.
Beyond our core classes, we bring drama into schools as outreach workshops, teacher CPD, presentation skills programmes and full-scale school musicals. We work with community groups and corporate clients too — delivering team-building, communication training and our flagship Script to Stage programme.
We also offer one-to-one tuition, prepare students for drama and musical theatre exams, and provide costume hire for schools, societies, productions and film through our sister company, KB Costumes.
Everything under one roof.
