The Everyman Palace Theatre, Thomas Crosbie Holdings and Cork City Council are delighted to continue in their commitment to support the next generation of theatre practitioners through the Pat Murray Bursary for 2009, which will facilitate a young theatre artist through specialised study or work placement. Now in its second year, the value of the bursary will remain at €14,000.

The inaugural Pat Murray Bursary was awarded to Deirdre Dwyer in December 2008, by Tony Award winner Bob Crowley. Deirdre is currently studying Theatre Design at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.

 

Speaking about winning the bursary, Deirdre said,’ The Pat Murray Bursary has made an incredible difference to my life over the past year. Having the financial support to come to Cardiff and study here at the RoyalWelshCollege has been amazing. I have been allowed this opportunity to study under the most wonderful tuition and have learned, in such a short space of time, so much. I am so pleased that the bursary is going to continue as it is a such an enormously generous bursary that can really affect significant change in the recipient's life. I am really grateful to the EverymanPalace and the other contributers and am looking forward to finding out who will the lucky recipient in 2009.’  

 

The Pat Murray Bursary for 2009 will be awarded by a panel of three independent representatives nominated by the funding bodies: the Everyman Palace Theatre, Thomas Crosbie Holdings and Cork City Council.
