Leeds Children's Theatre celebrates it's 85th anniversary (1935-2020)
​Did you visit the theatre to watch one of our productions - a school trip or a family treat perhaps?  Perhaps you were a member of the society 'back in the day'? 

Amazing but true - it's now 85 years since the group was officially formed.  
Some of you may have noticed that a lot of our archive photographs and images have been removed from the archives website and Flickr recently.  We're hoping to update & upload the archive again during  2020, but in the meantime if you have any memorabilia or stories that you'd like us to share on the website please get in touch.  Thank you

A big thank you to our Leeds Children's Theatre actors and helpers for giving their time today to this family friendly event.

Kirkstall Festival 2019, our stall before the event opened to the public at 11am.
A big “Thank you” to the members who came to help at Kirkstall Festival this year, and of course to all our visitors.  It was busy, and the rain downpour held off until we’d finished which is always a bonus!  We met up with a couple of past members, including Robert who was a member and performed with us in the early 1960s. Great to catch up.  
The extra 13+ Workshop Group evening sessions during July and August, were a great success and ended with a short performance from "The Smell of the Sea".  (An original play written by Thomas, one of the 13+ Workshop Group).
The specially invited audience included parents, friends and committee members who enjoyed a taster of the play, which we hope to stage in full later in the season.  
Many thanks to all involved, and to the small team that ran the summer workshops.
​Leeds Children's Theatre were nominated at the Child Friendly Leeds Awards 2019, in the Inspiring Creativity Through Arts and Culture category.
We attended  “Celebrating Small Groups and Small Charities in Leeds 2019” with the Lord Mayor (& hundreds of other people who run & volunteer for Leeds groups)

​Parents of members, please ask about how you might help the society ... as chaperones, with publicity, using your craft skills to make costumes and props, assisting front of house, helping to build and paint scenery, using or learning new technical skills in the theatre, etc

"The aim of Leeds Children's Theatre is to produce plays suitable for children, the players to be either children or adults or both, as is necessary for the production".   
​This was drawn into the constitution in April 1937 and it remains the aim of Leeds Children's Theatre today.
