LYT Term 1 is a resounding success

Well it's been possibly the fastest 10 weeks EVER! I can't believe that the first term of LYT is over already! It's been a great start for this new project and it's amazing to see how well the group has gelled together!

Having performed our devised piece at the switching on of the Christmas lights we spent the last two weeks of term having some festive fun and workshopping around a Christmas theme. Lots of laughs could be heard billowing out of the hall as we saw some interesting interpretations of Santa and his reindeer, considered a Christmas without presents and improvised exchanging imaginary gifts.

LYT opens it's doors again on January 22nd when we will be opererating 2 groups; age 9-12 and age 13-16. If you are interested in joining LYT you can contact Jen Smith on 07702852605 or by email at communityartscoordinator@googlemail.com

LYT members comments about Term 1:

• I would recommend LYT to my friends because I always have a good time on a Thursday night!
• BEST CLUB EVER!
• I expected an extremely high standard of fun each week and it was!
  
  
  

Loughton Christmas Lights

Friday was a big day for Loughton Youth Theatre as they took to the stage for their first ever public performance of a piece that they had devised in just 4 weeks around the theme of light. Over 200 people turned out for the performances from LYT and Staples Road Choir which were followed but the Mayor's official switching on of the lights and Mulled Wine and Mince Pies provided by Sainsbury's. There was a fantastic atmosphere of the community really pulling together.

Despite some issues with volume, LYT did a grand job and I think we are all excited to get stuck into our next project!

Chigwell Disability Group came along to support the event with torch lanterns that they had been making over the past few weeks.
