Based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, we are the oldest established Children's Theatre group in the UK. Our members (not just children, adults too) have a great time bringing live theatre to many young people for the very first time. Many of the plays we produce are based on well known children's literature, and it's magical to see them off the page and onto the stage.

Productions & Public Performances
Leeds Children's Theatre stage two productions each year at the Carriageworks Theatre (a purpose built theatre in the centre of Leeds, West Yorkshire). These are usually performed in spring (March/April) and late autumn (November). The society produces plays and 'plays with music' that are suitable for children and their families. Many of our productions are popular with teachers and we welcome school groups as well as families and friends. Our productions will usually involve a mixed cast of adults and children, depending upon the requirements of the play. |
