Showstoppers

Welcome to Showstoppers Stageschool, a beacon of performing arts excellence in Ireland. Established in 2006 by the multi-talented Elaine Hearty, an accomplished actress, singer, voiceover artist, songwriter, and filmmaker, Showstoppers Stageschool has been nurturing young talents and igniting a passion for the arts. Elaine’s journey began with teaching drama at Our Lady’s School Templeogue, where her exceptional skills and dedication inspired parents and teachers to urge her to create this remarkable institution.

At Showstoppers, we’re driven by a profound love for the arts. Our outstanding team of teachers and staff, most of whom are actively involved in the theatre and film industry, share this fervor. We are committed to delivering top-notch training and qualifications while also focusing on bolstering self-esteem and life skills. Our tots and minis courses are an exciting journey through dramatic role play, song, dance, action poems, and public speaking, all tied to engaging themes like space, animals, and the circus every three weeks.

From age 3 and up, Showstoppers provides a safe space for young talents to flourish and explore their passion for performing. We continually evolve, introducing innovative ideas to challenge and, most importantly, to have fun. Elaine Hearty, a founding member of PAEI (Performing Arts Educators of Ireland), ensures that Showstoppers is not just a school but a vibrant community dedicated to nurturing and supporting the arts in Ireland. Join us on this thrilling artistic journey at Showstoppers Stageschool.
