Young people aged six to eighteen are encouraged to do their best, enjoy themselves and help others in an atmosphere of sharing, caring and professional training. Our affiliated adult group is the Advance Theatre Company.

We believe that every child has the right to develop skills at their own pace, achieve their full potential, and experience all the wonders of theatre.

This is why Leighton Buzzard Children's Theatre is important to the young people in our community. Active Participation in the Arts: Participating in the arts provides young people with a chance to explore their creativity and imagination in a structured and safe environment. Improving Literacy Skills: From reading scripts to memorising lines to learning to tell a story, young people continually improve their literacy skills while rehearsing and performing in a musical.
Becoming a Confident Public Speaker: It takes a lot of guts to stand up and sing or dance in front of your family, peers, and what may seem like the entire community. Experience with public speaking at a young age gives students confidence that will be important to them for the rest of their lives. Gaining Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Skills: Putting on a musical is a group effort and every member of the team must work together to make it happen. Throughout the rehearsal process, the students will learn to solve challenges as they arise. Students will learn to trust and depend on themselves and their cast mates. As with any group activity, every participant has responsibilities.
