Children’s Theatre: An Ant Called Amy

26 - 29 Sep 2024 (Past)

The Ark, Eustace Street, Dublin



Created and performed by Julie Sharkey, this charming and moving story for children aged 5 to 8 tells the tale of an ant who learns to slow down.

This is a story about an ant called Amy (an award-winning ant one might add), her brother Andy and a Brown Spider. Amy the ant works very hard. When she wins the Employee of the Month Award, Amy feels a happiness that drives her to work even harder. But is she truly content?

With the help of the Brown Spider, Amy learns to find true happiness by appreciating the world around her and celebrating her brother’s memory in the everyday.

Presented in partnership with Dublin Theatre Festival as part of the Theatre for Children season at Dublin Theatre Festival 2024.
