Lewisham Youth Theatre

Lewisham Youth Theatre (LYT) is FREE to young people of Lewisham. We do not audition. If you are aged 8 to 25 you can take part.

Lewisham Youth Theatre (LYT) creates high quality, innovative theatre projects with and for young people that enable them to reach their creative and personal potential. We believe that participation in theatre leads to
the development and empowerment of young people. We commit to ensuring that this opportunity is available to all young people in Lewisham and that no-one should be excluded because

of economic or social background. Since 1987, LYT has grown from a membership of 20 young people to working with over 1500 young people each year. In 2002 we began a residency at the Broadway Theatre, Catford. We have created a thriving centre where young people participate in theatre at every level through three youth theatres, drama workshops in the community, education outreach and storytelling initiatives. Run by professional theatre practitioners, we have a reputation for producing challenging and innovative work to a professional standard. At the heart of every project is our belief that theatre is for everyone and we target and successfully attract those who might otherwise be excluded. www.lewishamyouththeatre.com - new site launches Oct 2013.
