The National Performing Arts School (NPAS) is located in Dublin, Ireland. Formed in 1993, its courses are aimed at students aged from 2 to 22 years old and include classes in drama, singing and dancing.[citation needed] Every two years, an NPAS show is staged at the Olympia Theatre.[1] The arts school is run by Jill Doyle and Eamon Farrell (brother of Colin Farrell).[2]
NPAS is located in 'The Factory', a rehearsal, recording and performance space.[3] Performers that have rehearsed at 'The Factory' include U2, Britney Spears, Pink, The Abbey Theatre and Riverdance.[3] As of 2025, NPAS had its "creative home" at 'The Factory' at Boland's Mills.[citation needed]
