LOVE GREEN

Summ

The Lyric is fully committed to reducing its impact on the environment. You can play your part too. Here are some of our tips:

Designed and printed by The Graphic Design House • www.tgdh.co.uk Photography by Dan Hipkin

• Live nearby? Walk to your class instead of using a car or public transport.

• Remember the three Rs – reduce, reuse and recycle.

• Make sure all video games and computers are turned off when you leave the house.

• Turn off your phone charger by the switch at the wall once you’ve finished using it.

We are the first ever theatre building to be awarded the highest 3 Stars Industry Green rating for our commitment to Green initiatives for four years running.

Our major Green successes include: We recycle everything, more than 95% of our lighting is LED, we’re powered mainly by wind energy and we saved 495 trees last year. For more information visit www.lyric.co.uk

I am pleased to share with you our summer term. Our classes this term include theatre, dance, music, film, TV & digital.

The Lyric provides excellent opportunities for young people. We are incredibly proud of alumni members Krystal and Karl who were leads in our Christmas panto Cinderella last year alongside our young ensemble whose performances contributed to the most successful panto in the Lyric’s history. We’re also proud of all the young artists involved in creating our first two day festival Evolution in January.
