The LBT’s Community Engagement department offers people of all ages the opportunity to explore their creativity and peek behind the scenes of the theatre making process. We run a number of classes and groups at the theatre for young people, adults and the over 50’s.

You can try out everything from drama, writing, singing, discussing opera, tai chi and much more, in addition to holiday and one-off projects. We also take workshops and performances out and about, for those who might find it difficult to come here, we want to take the magic of live performance right to their doorstep.

We work closely with groups to help their members and volunteers learn how the arts can enrich their activities and we know that celebrating what people have achieved through their own performance or coming here on a theatre trip can make a big difference to people’s lives.

“Stuart loves the drama classes. When he comes home he’s like a different boy. He was nervous at first but now he’s made new friends and can’t wait for drama to come around every week”.
