The Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse theatres are a local artistic force with national significance and an international reputation. Our two theatres are united by our passion for our art-form, our love of our city and our belief that theatre can transform lives.
We strive to reflect the aspirations and concerns of our audiences, to dazzle and inspire them, welcome and connect with them, nurture the artists within them and fuel their civic pride. Wherever these connections happen – whether in our theatres, in the community, in schools, or outside Liverpool – we hope to ignite the imagination, explore what it is to be human, and always to exceed expectation.
Across both venues, we create our own homegrown productions and receive forward thinking theatre from some of the best theatre-makers in the UK and beyond. Our award-winning youth arts programme, Young Everyman Playhouse (YEP), is integrated into every aspect of our work and includes traineeships in producing, technical theatre, directing and acting. Supporting creative learning across all ages, together with the work of our Creativity & Social Change team ensure we offer creative opportunities to many people who wouldn’t ordinarily think that theatre was for them.
