Lakeside Youth Theatre

Lakeside currently runs four youth theatre groups for children and young people aged 5 - 7 (Little Lakesiders) 8-10, 11-13 and 14+...and this season we are launching a fifth youth theatre group for ages15 - 19 called LYT X.

In these sessions we cover the broadest range of theatre skills including devising and improvising, text, mask, mime, dance and music. Participants will have opportunities to perform to an audience, attend theatre trips, register for the Arts Award and work in other areas of theatre. The sessions for older students have a reputation for strong ensemble work and the weekly sessions offer a platform for members to create, develop and take risks using their own ideas. You will get to work with some exciting artists, performers and professionals, perform in some unusual spaces, devise new and exciting work.
