The Library Theatre Company is no more, but the Library Theatre Young Company still has one final project to deliver, a series of Pop-Up Performances taking place at Cornerhouse next week.
The Library Theatre Company’s final performance was The Seagull at The Lowry in Salford which finished its successful run on Saturday 8 March 2014, but the company’s Young Company (LTYC) presents its final piece of community work under the Library Theatre Company banner with a series of Pop-Up Performances at Cornerhouse week commencing Monday 7 April.
Devised by the company’s members, all of whom are aged 15-18, but suitable for all ages, Pop-Up Performances comprise the following:

The Annexe, Meeting Room 1 and Café
This performance-based tour of some of Cornerhouse’s spaces reflects upon the childhood memories of the noughties generation. This interactive tour gives audience members the opportunity to reflect upon their own time spent as children at milestone events such as birthdays or summer holidays. Finally, hear their collective hopes and dreams for the future from the young company.
Staff and members of the young company will be there to meet you in the Cornerhouse foyer whenever you arrive and will instruct you on where to go.
All Pop-Up Performance events are suitable for all ages.
