"Throughout its history The Everyman Theatre has embraced new talent and produced brave, passionate work for and by the people of the North West. It's youth theatre and main house stage provided myself and many others with the courage to follow our dreams and pursue a career in the theatre. The New Everyman will continue that vital work and act as a creative heart in the city. It will provide the tools and space for a whole new generation of performers and writers, and also a new Bistro to feed them! Please help us make that dream happen."

"I came here as a 16 year-old. It blew my mind, seeing plays like Waiting for Godot and Look Back in Anger. As an actor what mattered most about the Everyman was the soul and spirit of the place, which gave you the ability to be right – or wrong. I would not be as brave as an actor if it were not for being here.”

"I am so excited about the Everyman's new incarnation. I look forward to seeing more outstanding productions in this exciting new space. Together with the Playhouse, Liverpool will have a new home for theatre that will rival any being produced throughout the world.

"It’s a vibrant, living thing this theatre: full of stories old and new, big and small and like the sign says above the door it is, and always has been, there for everyone, for the people of its city."

"The evenings I spent hosting the young writers' workshops always left me wondering how people so young could write so well, watching their faces as that magic tatty space turned their angst-ridden teenage prose into Theatre was a rare privilege. This is I believe the most important work to be continued and developed at the new Everyman.”
