Lyric Theatre Summer School 2026 9-11 Year Olds

Lyric Theatre Summer School 2026 (9-11 Year Olds)

This summer, inspired by our very own Lyric Theatre productions of Tea in a China Cup and Steel Magnolias, our theme is Memory.

Throughout the week, participants will explore how memories shape the stories we tell.

They’ll use their imaginations to create characters, improvise, and devise their own theatre pieces, filled with laughter, surprises, and the magic of memories.

Alongside the drama sessions, participants will enjoy bright and engaging art and design workshops, where they’ll create their own artwork, set pieces, and fun props inspired by the stories they’re exploring.

Through hands‑on creativity, they’ll begin to discover how colours, textures and shapes can help us remember special moments and feelings, and how these design elements help bring a performance to life on stage.

The week concludes with a showcase in our Naughton Studio, where family and friends are invited to join us enjoy the work created throughout the week.

This programme offers a brilliant opportunity for young people to make new friends, build confidence, develop communication skills, work as part of a team, and most importantly, enjoy a fun‑filled week of creativity and unforgettable experiences.
