Founded in late 2023 by key stakeholders in the arts in Cork City, CTC represents a shared vision to support independent artists in Cork. CTC offers a range of funded residencies and peer support to artists and the opportunity to share and interrogate their work with a growing community. 

Through funded residencies in the Theatre Development Centre at Triskel Arts Centre, workshops, masterclasses and career development opportunities, CTC’s mission is to provide a sustainable environment for artists at all career stages to create theatre. 

Along with partner organisations, Once Off, Cork Midsummer Festival, The Cork Arts Theatre, Graffiti Theatre, The Everyman and Cork Opera House, CTC seeks to create real pathways to production on every available stage in the county of Cork.
