ABOUT US
The Abbey Theatre, founded in 1904, is Ireland’s national theatre and a cornerstone of the country’s cultural life. Located in the heart of Dublin, the Abbey has long been a space for bold, innovative storytelling that reflects the complexities of Irish society. As a home for artists and audiences alike, the theatre is committed to presenting new voices alongside reimagined classics, fostering creativity, dialogue, and social engagement. Beyond the stage, the Abbey leads in sustainability, inclusion, and community outreach—championing a modern, responsible vision for the performing arts.
OUR IMPACT
The Abbey Theatre is committed to sustainability through a range of impactful actions. It is undergoing a major redevelopment to reduce its carbon footprint, including the installation of solar panels and energy-efficient lighting. The theatre has eliminated single-use plastics, uses biodegradable alternatives, and repurposes materials—such as set props in its café. It promotes waste reduction with glass crushing and sustainable sourcing in its hospitality services. The Costume Department has switched to natural moth repellents and reusable bags, while operations prioritize digital communication to cut paper use. The Abbey also partners with national sustainability groups to advance its climate goals.
