LIMERICK Youth Theatre (LYT) is on the lookout for new members to join their troupe this autumn.

LYT is a company of young performers, dancers, writers, designers, directors, producers and film-makers.

Besides the summer production, they also produce films, radio plays, as well as participate in festivals and collaborate with artistic groups across Limerick.

“If you are thinking about joining, here’s a few reasons why you might consider it; you’ll make new friends with like-minded creative young people from all walks of life. You’ll get the chance to work with brilliant professional directors and artists who help you to develop your creative and problem-solving skills, build your confidence and learn new skills,” commented a spokesperson for LYT.

The play was on for three nights in a row in The Hunt Museum.
