Our Middle Company program is designed for students in Grades 6–9 and welcomes both returning members and new students who have the confidence and commitment to take part in a four/five-show theatre season. (NB - students in grade 6 have the option of staying in Junior Company and students in grade 9 have the option of moving up to Senior Company)
In 2026, the Middle Company will be divided into two programs:
Programme 1 – Introduction to Production - MainStage Skills (Term 1)
This introductory program focuses on building the foundational skills needed for participation in our MainStage Production. Students will explore ensemble work, vocal development, characterisation, and script performance.
For those interested, there will also be opportunities to perform solo pieces or small group scenes at the Launceston Competitions.
Programme 2 – MainStage Production (Terms 2–4)
In this program, students will work towards presenting a full-scale theatre production, featuring matinee and evening performances at a local venue — currently planned for the Albert Hall in November 2026.
All LYTE programmes also include the opportunity to participate in the Launceston Christmas Parade in early December.
Please note: A small number of Saturday rehearsals will be scheduled as part of the MainStage Production calendar.
MainStage Production classes are capped, so we encourage families to enrol early to secure a place.
