Irish Society Drama Awards
The Irish Society Drama Association (ISDA) is the umbrella organisation of Ireland’s third-level drama societies.
The highlight of the ISDA calendar is the association’s annual theatre festival and award ceremony – a 10-day festival during which all member societies may present their shows and compete.
Three of Rachel Thornton’s productions have represented UCD DramSoc in the festival.
