A brand new course for young people ready to take their next step in theatre

LYT is a year-long course with three 8-week terms from October 2025 - June 2026.

Across the year, participants will work closely with industry professionals and each other to develop their performance skills and deepen their theatre practice. The course includes focused time on monologue and audition preparation, as well as the chance to explore a variety of performance techniques in more detail. Along the way, there will be specialist guest sessions, giving participants valuable insights into different areas of the industry and helping them grow as confident, creative performers.

We offer subsidised and bursary places to help make LYT Advance accessible to as many young people as possible.

Unlike our other Youth Theatre groups, LYT Advance has a short application process where you will be asked to write a short statement supporting your application. With 20 spaces available, we're looking for young people who are committed, curious, and excited to get involved.

If you're offered a place, you'll confirm it by booking through our Box Office. A £100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your space. This deposit reflects your commitment to all three terms of the course.
