Lighthouse Youth

Youth Theatre

Ages:
7 – 11 Years – FREE TRIAL LESSONS AVAILABLE
12+ Years – FREE TRIAL LESSONS 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 have the opportunity:
• to submit their own monologue or script to create an anthology of students’ dramatic writing
• take part in film sets
• the Telegraph Hill Festival
• get invited to join (our affiliated) casting agency
• take 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.
