Precious wants to escape her boring town…
Elijah just wants to be noticed…
and Kulwinder wants to be the best
boxer in the world.

LYT’s Junior Youth Theatre (12-14s) performed an evening of scenes from contemporary plays exploring aspiration, friendship and everything in between.  The performance was held at Goldsmith College’s George Wood Theatre and provided the perfect opportunity to engage the Technical Theatre Workshop Group.  16 production assistants aged 12-17 provided support on the project by programming and running the lighting, helping to stage manage the event and running the scene changes.
