is a professional theatre company formed by course director Roisin Lonergan and writer Niamh Gleeson. The Telephone Exchange toured Ireland in 2007-2009 and The Mariettas toured in 2009. Actors are auditioned and then workshop with Niamh Gleeson for a short period prior to the writing of each play. The company was inspired by the number of exceptional ex students that the Marino Theatre Performance course has yielded, though any actor is welcome to audition for roles.
