LITTLE LION ENTERTAINMENT BACKS THE ARTS WITH LANDMARK SUPPORT FOR NATIONAL YOUTH THEATRE

National Youth Theatre is proud to be one of two organisations receiving new support from Little Lion Entertainment, the award-winning creators of immersive global hits including The Crystal Maze LIVE Experience, Tomb Raider: The LIVE Experience, Chaos Karts and PAC-MAN LIVE.

This new multi-year sponsorship will help fund NYT’s inclusive training and nationwide outreach programmes, enabling us to continue providing free and affordable workshops, masterclasses and immersive performance training for young creatives across the UK.

Little Lion Entertainment’s backing also includes sponsorship of NYT’s annual Greatest Gift Auction, culminating in the Greatest Gift Soirée at The Crystal Maze LIVE Experience on 24 November. The event will feature performances from NYT members and alumni, and will celebrate creativity and inclusion across the arts.

Hosted by NYT alum Jack Guinness, the event will feature performances from NYT member Jeevan Braich (Stage Debut Award Winner 2024), NYT alum Michael Ahomka-Lindsay (Cabaret), and spoken word performances by current NYT members. Guests will also have the unique opportunity to play in The Crystal Maze’s Aztec Zone during the drinks reception - guided by Maze Masters who are themselves NYT members now employed by Little Lion Entertainment, after being cast through NYT productions and immersive workshops run by LLE.

We’re grateful for this partnership and its role in helping young people from all backgrounds access opportunities in the creative industries.

Little Lion Entertainment today have also announced support for Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts.

Paul Roseby OBE, CEO and Artistic Director of NYT, said:

“We’re enormously grateful to our friends at Little Lion Entertainment for their generous support. From funding and upskilling the next generation in immersive performance, to making our events stand out from the crowd, this partnership provides a vital boost at a challenging time for arts charities.”

Tom Lionetti-Maguire, Founder and CEO of Little Lion Entertainment, said:

“Little Lion Entertainment was built on a belief that creativity changes lives. The arts gave us everything - so we’re determined to give something back. By supporting institutions like Mountview and the National Youth Theatre, we’re helping ensure that talent and passion, not privilege, determine who gets to build a career in the arts.”
