R S V P

is very proud to call itself a Cork company and represents that pride in its name.

The name Red Sandstone Varied Productions is based on several factors:

Red is the colour associated with the Rebel County;

Sandstone is the bedrock of Cork and

Varied are the fruits of our creativity, and our Productions.

We believe that all experiences in life should be remembered for the lessons learned,

memories comfort us in times of grief, and honour our history,

but we must let go of anger, as if it were writing in the SAND.

Positive actions bring us joy; let's write our positive actions in STONE.

Join us in creative expression, be healed, be seen, be loved.

Our vision

The central philosophy of this theatrical company is that we are all connected. Our practise is to treat each event as a holistic experience where producers, performers and audience are of equal importance.

We strive for excellence in art, and therefore the end result is an artistic product to be proud of, but the product is not the paramount objective, the means by which we achieve our art is of equal importance.

Art comes in at the heart.

Artistic expression can open up minds of all ages, to the limitless possibilities in life, and we endeavour to reach out to as many lives as possible.

We harness the power of performance to generate teamwork, encourage innovative ideas and open awareness of self and our environment.

Performance is a function of our company's being, and there are no limits on the variety of our products.

OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE ART.

We can create theatre anywhere. You give us the idea, the building, the street, or even the field and we do the research and creative planning. Together we can present your project, your festival, your community, or your business in a new and innovative way.
