About Halifax Light Opera Society Juniors
Established in 1975, HLOS Juniors is a registered charity based in Halifax that provides young people aged 8 to 18 the opportunity to take part in full-scale musicals and theatrical experiences. Entirely run by volunteers - many of whom are former Juniors themselves - the group has become a vital part of Halifax’s cultural fabric.
Rehearsing from September through to February each year, HLOS Juniors stages its annual production at the Halifax Playhouse Theatre alongside workshops and concerts throughout the season. The society’s mission is to help young people build confidence, develop performance skills, and forge lifelong friendships through the joy of musical theatre.
“This is more than a celebration of the past,” says event organiser Kate. “It’s about recognising the impact youth theatre has had on so many lives and securing its place for the next generation. We’re inviting the people of Halifax and beyond - former members, supporters, and theatre fans - to come together and show their support for the future of youth arts.”
Headline Entertainment by Helter Skelter
A major highlight of the evening will be a live performance from Helter Skelter, one of West Yorkshire’s top professional party bands. Based in Huddersfield, the group’s high-energy “Ultimate Party Show” features a wide-ranging setlist spanning the best of rock, pop, Britpop and indie from the 1960s to today.
Covering artists from The Rolling Stones and Queen to The Killers, Kings of Leon and Snow Patrol, Helter Skelter delivers unforgettable live shows that appeal to all generations. Their sheer energy, musical talent, and commitment to audience engagement ensure a spectacular experience every time.
