The Lir Academy - Cyril Bennett Bursary
Cyril Bennett is the late husband of prolific and successful theatre producer Breda Cashe, co-founder of Lane Productions. Cyril passed away suddenly on Christmas Day just over three years ago and is deeply missed by Breda and their two daughters Ellen and Elizabeth. Breda, Ellen and Elizabeth are choosing to celebrate Cyril’s memory through this student bursary.
Bursaries at The Lir Academy provide financial support for disadvantaged young people to access an education at The Lir and recipients will credit this bursary throughout their careers. The Lir Academy Student Bursary Fund is open to all EU students who have been offered a place on the Undergraduate Bachelor in Acting, Undergraduate Bachelor in Stage Management and Technical Theatre or any of the Postgraduate courses at The Lir, National Academy of Dramatic Art, or are already studying here. Students can apply for the bursary once a place has been offered on the course. For more information about this contact us at [email protected]
