Young Lyric

Young Lyric is the home for all young people here at the Lyric. We are committed to working with exciting artists and young people to create innovative and exceptional performances and projects.

Over the past decade the Lyric has established a national and international reputation for its work with children and young people.

We are profoundly committed to giving young people from all backgrounds access to the arts in order to develop their creative, social, personal and economic potential. In particular we recognise the power of bringing young people into the Lyric to create work in a professional theatre alongside professional artists.

Young Lyric encompasses all of our projects and activities, including classes, performance opportunities, apprenticeships, work experience, supporting emerging artists, schools activity and targeted work supporting vulnerable young people.
