A new scheme is being launched at the Lichfield Garrick in a bid to get more youngsters engaged with theatre.
The city centre venue is launching the free Young Garrick membership scheme for aged 14 to 25.
Perks will include discounted tickets, invites to workshops on front and back stage skills, free theatre tours and the chance to audition for in-house productions.
Daniel Buckroyd, artistic director and CEO of the Lichfield Garrick, said:
“Our Young Garrick membership is all about celebrating the energy and creativity of young people our local community.
“We’re excited to provide an immersive and engaging experience that not only entertains but also nurtures the next generation of theatre enthusiasts and professionals.”

This is great news but….I remember Lichfield youth Theatre being frozen out of the Garrick and the Cathederal stepping in . The youth Theatre production of Les Mis was Amazing but, it should have been staged at The Garrick .
Lichfield Musical Youth Theatre is returning to the Garrick (after a change in management at the Garrick). Here’s an extract from a recent communication from LMYT:
“We’re just over 3 weeks away from our long awaited return to the Garrick with our new production of the timeless celebration of nostalgia – GREASE!
We run from Tues 19th until Sat 23rd Sept for 6 performances only!”
This can only be good news. In the past some folks got 1st hand experience which has led to careers in theatre. Lest hope the activities are well supported
Carl sholl , thats great news and i did think it was to do with new management so, i wish you all the best and for one can’t wait to welcome future productions.
Thankyou also for letting us know whats happening .
