Professor Brian Singleton, Chair of Drama and Theatre and LIR Academy Academic Director Samuel Beckett, is retiring later this summer.
To celebrate Brian’s leadership and the impact on many of the LIR Academy’s students and staff, we came together to celebrate the past 15 years of bringing the LIR Academy to where it is today. Congratulations on a wonderful afternoon of memories and music. Thank you to all the students who contributed.
Brian is the visionary guide to shaping LIR, the Academy of Dramatic Arts at Trinity College, Dublin, and it was his dedication that built himself to be the success we are today.
