Lights Up! Theatre Company has posted its production lineup for the 2026-27 season. The theater group, which features performers ages 12-19, will stage two full-length musicals and one actor-devised original play.

Enrollment is open now, with auditions for specific productions to follow.

The three Lights Up! shows are:

“The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical,” Dec. 10-13 at Center Stage Theatre.

“Les Misérables,” March 11-14 at The Marjorie Luke Theatre, performed by advanced members of the company.

An original work, devised by young actors in collaboration with director Amy Love, will debut at Center Stage Theatre, May 15-16.

This season offers opportunities for even more Santa Barbara youth to experience the benefits of theatrical training, according to executive director Erica Schreiber.

“We’re so excited to expand access to our programs through scholarships and tuition assistance this season,” Schreiber said.

“The No. 1 thing we hear from Lights Up! families and alumni is how the company strengthens community and helps teens make lifelong friendships,” she said. “In addition to putting on great shows, that’s the magic we want to spread even farther as we grow.”

Love, who co-founded the youth theater company in 2018, said this season’s show selections reflect where the group finds itself nine seasons in.

“We have wonderful relationships with local venues and other theater professionals, a deeply connected parent and family community, and dedicated performers who return year after year to continue their training,” she said.

“That allows us to take on a gorgeous, classic musical like ‘Les Misérables,’ while continuing to bring younger actors, and younger audiences, to the theater with a popular show like ‘The Lightning Thief,’” she said.

Lights Up Theatre Company membership begins with a self-taped video audition, followed by in-person auditions for specific productions. Young actors are advised to submit their self-tape before Aug. 15.
