We meet at Lyra on Fridays. We co-create theatre. We have lots of talents in drama, dance. music and more!
​
We are presenting a show at Bright and Wild 2025: All Night Camp Out
A devised theatre performance about a group of teenagers going camping in the woods. The teenage brain NEEDS to take risks to develop, does it harm teenagers when they’re arent allowed to take any risks at all? Will we find freedom in the forest or discover the dark side of going at it alone. Will the Ghillie Dhu step in to save us or leave us to learn for ourselves? Is he there? Is ..... someone..... out there?
'all night camp out' is an anti Blair witch project. Where a group of teenagers are lost in the woods (in physical and metaphorical ways) and are then guided to safety by a spirt that inhabits the forest.

Regular meetings held on Tuesdays 17:00 - 19:00
Lyra Young Company x Crew are an ensemble of teens based in Greater Craigmillar and we collaborate with professional artists to make dance theatre shows with live music. The company is made up of performers and the backstage crew. The performers develop skills in music, dance and acting and the crew work on technical theatre stage management and producing.

We meet every Tuesday and sometimes during the weekend and holiday periods to train, rehearse and create our shows.
Auditions to take part in the Young Company are held once every year.
