LTC Junior
Although Little Theatre Company is an adult society, we often produce shows with child roles. They are often filled by the children of our own members, as well as auditioning children from outside of the LTC family.
Having produced many shows involving children, a group of members decided they wanted to do even more. There was a desire to give more back to the young people who clearly got so much out of performing with us and who support our shows, with a view to helping these youngsters improve their performance skills and boost their confidence.
So, in 2016, LTC Jr was born. Run on an entirely voluntary basis by our own members, it provides a comprehensive, affordable, week-long summer school for children aged 7-17, where we rehearse and perform a full musical in just 7 days!
In addition to this, we also hold social events for our Jrs, such as their Christmas Party, we look to our Jrs first for child roles in our main shows and we invite them to perform with us at events such as our Southend Bandstand performances and at our Christmas Fayre.
The project is extremely popular with most children returning every year and it has been an absolute joy to see them grow, both physically and in terms of their confidence and performance. We started with Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and have gone on to perform Honk Jr, Legally Blonde Jr and Guys & Dolls Jr.
Let us know if you have a child who might want to be an LTC Jr.
