Lighthouse Youth

Lighthouse Youth Theatre

Ages:
10-13 years – FREE TRIAL LESSON AVAILABLE
12+ years – FREE TRIAL LESSON AVAILABLE

Students work on a play or musical that we will show back to friends and family twice a year. We will be devising sessions that emphasise theatre and performance skills, and planning a balanced syllabus, mixing games and improvisation with performances and presentations, and using stimulus that develops the individual as well as the group.

Students will have the opportunity to submit their own monologue or script to create an anthology of students’ dramatic writing. A trip to the theatre (at least) once a year.

We offer the possibility to enrol students for the LAMDA Exam as an add-on in Acting, Public Speaking, Musical Theatre and more.

We offer a FREE TRIAL LESSON so pupils can experience our Youth Theatre before committing to a term.
