The LBT runs 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.  We also offer holiday and one-off projects. To find out what classes are running here at the theatre visit the Youth Theatre or the Adult Participation pages.

LBT on the road!

 The LBT likes to travel.  We pop up in community centres and schools, carnivals and fetes, to all corners of our Kirklees home. We develop close partnerships with communities and schools and deliver everything from outreach Youth Theatres to family creative play sessions to circus skills workshops to music and dance projects.

We are running a whole range of projects in the Ashbrow ward including: Families in Action (creative play sessions for parents and children) at Christchurch Woodhouse School – currently parents and children are having fun making puppets and telling stories; drama sessions with Brackenhall Kidz and Teenz Klub – watch out for their show coming to life at Easter; circus skills, dance and drama with the children and young people from Whitacre Close; movement and music with Playmates Nursery… and once again we are supporting Deighton Carnival with artists for their Carnival costume workshops and will be present on the day with the LBT Imagine Tent – full of exciting arts activities for children and families.

Crosland Moor

Crosland Moor is our new community partnership area. We have 2 Youth Theatres in Residence running – one at Mount Pleasant Junior School and one at the Pakistani Youth Forum. Our Youth Theatre’s in Residence aim to introduce young people to drama skills, build their confidence and allow them to experience the thrill of live theatre with trips to the LBT. More projects for the area are in development.

In partnership with schools

We currently have 2 schools partnerships – with Netherhall Learning Campus and Royd’s Hall High School and their feeder primary schools. Under our schools partnerships we offer special projects, ticket offers, access to work experience and much more.
