Membership
Leeds Children's Theatre membership is open to people actively interested in theatre. Adult membership is subject to committee approval, references and regular DBS checks which are currently carried out on our behalf by NODA.
Please note that the current minimum age for taking part in LCT activities and productions is eight (8) years of age. We do have a long waiting list for children wishing to join in order to attend our Saturday drama workshop, and the list is open to children aged 7 years and over. All enquiries should be addressed to our membership secretary.

Committee
The Leeds Children's Theatre committee is democratically elected and includes youth/junior representatives as well as the usual officers and officials. We hold an AGM each year, usually in September, to elect the General Committee and Honorary Officers, who work together to manage the day to day business and activities of the society.
Finances
Our finances
The society is completely self-funding and as such receives no grant aid, locally or nationally. We are financed through membership subscriptions, ticket sales and the occasional fund-raising event. We have in the past also receive donations from individuals to help with specific projects or productions, and are very grateful to our benefactors for their support. LCT has never been a registered charity, and is managed by our annually elected committee rather than trustees.
Charitable donations
As a not-for-profit group we donate money to local charities whenever possible, many of which are associated with members and their families. Please note that we are not however in a position to accept unsolicited requests for donations or sponsorship.
