REGISTERED CHARITYPart of something bigger
Light UP is the youth-theatre strand of the registered charity Unexpected Places, which is a professional theatre company making original theatre shows and memorable arts experiences. This provides even more opportunities for our members to see behind the scenes, new shows and even, in some cases, their first paid performance role.
Our charity offers the very best opportunities and exceptional value — every penny reinvested in your child.
