Lewisham Youth Theatre (LYT) brings young people together from across the Lewisham community to create outstanding theatre in an environment of high expectations and collaboration. They work from the core belief that artistic excellence is key to expanding young people’s horizons and creating lasting transformation.
In 2024, Lewisham Youth Theatre was awarded a bronze Level London Youth Quality Mark, a quality assurance scheme accredited by City and Guilds.
