Tracy is a director, writer, theatre-maker and researcher working across Ireland and England. Throughout her career, she has been passionate about developing new work and creating theatre that brings together artists, communities, and audiences.

As a director, her work includes the Irish premiere of Iphigenia in Splott at Smock Alley Theatre, Disco Pigs and Sucking Dublin - which won Best Ensemble at The Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards - and the celebrated production of Trainspotting at the Olympia Theatre, Dublin.

Alongside directing, she writes for theatre. Her recent work includes the critically acclaimed Strike!, which received its London premiere at Southwark Playhouse, and Sisters – A New Irish Musical at the Mill Theatre, Dublin. Developing and nurturing new writing, whether her own or in collaboration with others, remains at the heart of her creative practice.

Tracy’s journey began as an actor before expanding into community arts and theatre-making, experiences that continue to shape her practice today. As a founding member of the award-winning Studio 3 Arts in East London, Angels Theatre Company, The Work Theatre Collective, and more recently freerein theatre, she has spent more than two decades devising, facilitating and developing original work in collaboration with artists and communities in a wide range of settings.

Her work has taken her across Ireland, England and the United States, including the San Jose Office of Cultural Affairs and serving as Guest Artistic Director at the Ashland New Plays Festival in Oregon. These experiences deepened her commitment to theatre as a space for dialogue and social engagement.

Tracy trained at E15 Acting School and later completed an MA in Theatre and Performance Studies at University College Dublin. More recently, she graduated with a practice-as-research PhD at the University of Sussex, exploring The Artist as Activist in Contemporary Theatre. The research brought together many of the themes that have shaped Tracy’s work throughout her career: participation, collaboration, social change and the power of storytelling.

She is always interested in new collaborations and conversations, so please feel free to get in touch.
