The LBT Youth Theatre offers young people aged 6 to 25 weekly drama sessions as well as plenty of chances to go on theatre visits and get involved in holiday projects, performance opportunities and specialist workshops.

“I come to LBT Youth Theatre because it is a brilliant place to learn new skills, meet new friends, socialise and have fun.”

We have 2 styles of weekly groups:

Creative Skills

Open access groups for anyone aged 6 to 14 who simply fancies having a go. Creative Skills workshops are about getting hands on with drama, building your confidence and having fun.

Theatre Skills

Auditioned groups for young people aged 9 to 25. If you’ve done a lot of drama before and are serious about developing as a performer then this is the group for you as you’ll learn advanced techniques in fun but challenging workshops.

We also run workshops for Young Writers:

The LBT Young Writers

For 8 to 15 year olds, in these workshops you’ll need more than just pen and paper as tutors encourage you to look creatively at your work to get the ink flowing. There are plenty of chances to test your scripts in front of others and the Write Now Festival, which takes place each year, is a chance for you to premiere your work in front of audiences.
