Calling all young people interested in youth Theatre!

If you’re aged between 10 and 13, or 14 and 18 and want to work with actors and directors, learn new skills, and meet other young people interested in theatre – then Leitrim Youth Theatre is for you.

LYT is a professional youth theatre programme consisting of both junior and senior groups which provides opportunities for young people who wish to be involved in acting and theatre.

Junior group members take part in weekly workshops exploring their creativity, attaining new skills, and taking part in performances. Senior group members also take part in weekly workshops covering areas from performance to technical production. While many members aspire to go on to careers in theatre, it is equally rewarding for those who have no desire to pursue theatre professionally - and for everyone LYT is a supportive youth network where members develop their creativity, gain self confidence and make new friends.

About leitrim youth arts

When we invest in young people’s creativity, we are investing in the future creativity of our society. Children & Young People continue to be a key priority for Leitrim County Council as children account for approximately 27% of the population. Moreover, participating in the arts helps children to understand the world around them; it overcomes barriers, improves communication and academic skills, and sparks the imagination.

This website contains information about arts services that Leitrim County Council provide for children and young people in the county such as Leitrim Youth Theatre, Cruinniú na nÓg and the Wild Words programme for teenagers that are interested in creative writing.

We also provide information on other arts services available to young people in Leitrim including arts programmes available to schools and Music Generation Leitrim, which is part-funded by Leitrim County Council.
