In October 2025, Dunamaise Arts Centre and its partner venues in the NASC Regional Venue Network teamed up to present the LASTA Festival.
LASTA is a national Irish arts festival for young people and curated by young people. The 2025 festival ran throughout October, with selected performances across several regional venues in counties Kerry, Limerick, Clare, Galway, Donegal, Longford, and Laois. The theme this year was ‘Home’, with the festival’s curators seeking to explore ideas of belonging, environment, memory, and identity through a diverse programme of music, theatre, and film.
Trip Hazard Theatre’s “The Zombie Monologues” was selected for the festival by 2025 Young Curator, Ellie Lee Henry.
