Traditionally members of the Youth Section 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 28 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.
Our latest production was "Annie" in June 2024 where The Youth Section joined LBCT in 2 superb performances helping to raise funds for Dogs For Good

Our youth section is made up of 12-18 year olds from Leighton Buzzard and surrounding areas. Youth Section is for young people who love the theatre and everything about it. We traditionally perform at least one full length musical-theatre production each year as well as taking part in a variety of other events. LBCT Youth Section performed at the O2 Arena with the cast of the 25th Anniversary performance of Les Miserables.
