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.

Next Generation

Next Generation is our programme to support young artists entering the theatre industry including masterclasses, Panto ensemble and other opportunities.

Schools

Our work with schools not only takes place around the artistic programme of the theatre but also makes full use of the state of the art facilities in our Reuben Foundation Wing.

Targeted projects

We are dedicated to working with the most marginalised and disadvantaged young people, to raise their aspirations and self-confidence so they can reach their full potential.
