Doors to Elsewhere
Doors to Elsewhere is an inclusive theatre ensemble for adults with disabilities living in South Dublin County. As a long-term, core programme with TCA, Doors to Elsewhere is now in its 15th year, providing weekly workshops which enable our performers to develop their creative potential in acting, movement, spoken word, music and devising.
Our performances are original, devised works collectively created by the participants. All of the artists perform, but they are also the writers, directors and designers of the work. The ensemble is led by theatre artists Jenny Macdonald and Jennifer Webster, working in conjunction with a wide array of guest facilitators.
For further information on becoming involved in Doors to Elsewhere Ensemble please email us at info@tallaght-arts.ie or contact the TCA office on 086 2706581.
Cafe Visionaire
Doors to Elsewhere Ensemble were delighted to bring back to the stage Café Visionaire, an original, devised theatre show about their talents, their dreams, and their experiences of work and pay.
Café Visionaire! A land of infinite possibilities. The staff were misguided, the work is unpaid and the managers are uncaring, but you never know how things may change. These waiters have ideas of their own! Their vision is to create a café full of song, dance and stories. And you are invited to join in!
The performance took place on Tuesday 28th October 2025 in The Performance Space, Rua Red, South Dublin Arts Centre, Dublin 24. The Doors to Elsewhere cast wowed the audience with a spectacle of song, dance and stories and it was a sold-out event to behold!
Café Visionaire is supported by Tallaght Community Arts, South Dublin County Council Arts Office and the Arts Council of Ireland.
Proud to be funded by the Arts Council of Ireland and South Dublin County Council
