RSVP; theatre, film, events, workshops.

We create art, nurture artists, and envelop & develop community.

RSVP 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:

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

but we need to let go of anger, just as writing in the sand is blown away by the sun. 

Let's write our positive actions in stone. 

Memories comfort us in times of grief, and honour our history, but positive actions bring us joy. 

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.

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.                                                              

Theatre 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. We provide professional theatrical productions and short films, including site specific, historical and community based performance, favouring original writing.  

OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE ART.

RSVP promotes the social benefits to be had from participation in the arts, and includes a wide range of amateur, semi-professional and community work in its professional remit; Exploring film and stage in their constantly creative drive towards excellence in art. Personal development, social cohesion and community empowerment are supported within the company's ideology and planning. RSVP love the traditional stage, but can create theatre anywhere, and have co-created many arts participatory projects in short film and theatre, site specific theatre projects, community arts projects, musical theatre, short films, music videos, and advertising shorts. Site specific, physical, interactive theatre is an area of special interest. Work has been performed in Scotland, Australia, Ireland, and Greece. RSVP has been creating theatre since 2006, and short film since 2010, focusing on new writing and/or experimental methodology, within a proven and reliable professional framework. 

You can rely on RSVP to get it done, with artistic integrity and financial viability. 

Promotional films, music videos, short films and documentary films have been created in conjunction with associate companies; contact us and we will produce what and who you need, for your production.


See Film/ Music Video page for our work in casting and production of short films, art film and work with associate companies in promotional shorts, music videos and documentary.
