Summer Youth Production

For two weeks in August, you can work with a professional director, choreographer, and musical director to learn and perform Bugsy Malone on our Main Stage, performing 3 shows! Our summer youth project is open to those aged 8-17 and spans over the two-weeks. During this period, the Crewe Lyceum Theatre will come alive to the sights and sounds of young people doing everything they can to put on a musical in time for curtain up! The participation fee for this year’s Summer Youth Project is £200.00 per participant (which works out at around £17 per day). Siblings of full paying places will be charged at £180.00. The fee covers two full weeks of Summer Youth Project and does not include meals, transport, or show tickets. Please note once payment has been made there are no refunds unless we can fill your place. Subsidised Places / Bursary Funding There are a very limited number of subsidised or part-subsidised places on offer for those who genuinely cannot afford the fees. Please contact Hollie Wimpenny, Summer Youth Project Producer [email protected] for details.
