Mary-Frances Doherty Actress & Theatre Maker
ISTA (International Schools Theatre Association): A community of young people, teachers and artists.
ISTA brings together young people, teachers and artists from different countries in different settings to experience, create and learn about theatre. They passionately value diversity and collaboration and encourage celebration and play. They offer artists who are experts in their fields the chance to come together and work with young people from across the globe to devise inspiring and original theatre in stunning locations.
