Upcoming Auditions and Applications
Lexington Children’s Theatre is excited to announce auditions for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical, our holiday Opera House performance.
Youth Advisory Board (YAB) 2026-2027 Applications
Lexington Children’s Theatre is excited to open applications for our fourth year of our Youth Advisory Board! The Youth Advisory Board will be comprised of young people involved and invested in LCT’s programming and who work with us to shape the future of the organization.
The Youth Advisory Board will be comprised of up to 12-16 total members with delegates comprised of seventh through twelfth graders (for the 2026-27 school year). We will select delegates from a variety of different schools, involvement levels, and backgrounds to build the Board.
The Youth Advisory Board will meet once a month for a 90-minute meeting as a full group from the months of October through May. Sub-committees may meet more frequently as needed.
The Youth Advisory Board aims to give young people a voice in LCT’s programming. Our goal is to have the Board Members be advocates for youth like them and bring exciting ideas for change to the table. We will discuss topics such as season planning/play title selection, education, visioning, and IDEA (Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, & Accessibility). We will strive to have youth voices in the decision-making that impacts young people and our organization. The Youth Advisory Board may also move to cover a variety of other interests as they’re brought to the table by its members. Members may participate in event planning, fundraising, or other activities of interest.
The deadline for applications and to be submitted is Saturday, October 3rd at 11:59pm. After this time, our selection team will consider applications and our 2026-2027 Youth Advisory Board members will be announced hopefully the week after.
