Traditionally members of the Children’s Theatre are encouraged to get involved in as many of our charity performances as possible. We have regularly taken groups to perform in Leighton Buzzard and the surrounding areas for various charities. For the last 29 years LBCT would be found at the Milton Keynes Christmas events entertaining the busy shoppers with Christmas songs and popular musical theatre pieces. We also regularly visit several retirement homes to entertain with extracts from our current productions as well as the old classics.
Children's Theatre for ages 6-13 enjoy improvisation, role play, acting, singing and learning stagecraft
