Youth Theatre
On 25th November 2006 the New Everyman Youth Theatre (NEYT) came back home to the Theatres to become Everyman and Playhouse Youth Theatre. The original Everyman Youth Theatre was founded in the mid-seventies and became one of the most successful youth theatres in . It was the starting point in the careers of many successful actors, musicians, writers and theatre practitioners including Ian Hart, David Morrissey and Cathy Tyson. In the 1990’s when the Everyman Theatre and its youth theatre closed a group of supporters set up New Everyman Youth Theatre. The theatres have since been reborn, NEYT is coming home and we are now looking at further developing youth theatre in Merseyside for the future.
This season saw the Youth Theatre's first production, an abridged version of Julius Caesar, take to the Everyman stage with a cast of over 40 young people from across Merseyside. For more information about youth theatre please contact Viv O’Callaghan 0151 706 9146.
Four Corners of the City and North 2008
Project Background
Four Corners of the City is a large scale project in which Artistic organisations partner with Liverpool Neighbourhood Management Services to create an imaginative project that links directly to neighbourhoods. Each Arts organisations works in partnership with a specific neighbourhood area to deliver targeted arts work with and for individuals living in that community. The participants themselves are the key authors of the work, and are given an artistic platform upon which to explore issues that relate directly to them.
Since 2005 the Everyman and Playhouse theatres have worked in Partnership with the Culture Company and Liverpool Neighbourhood Management Services to deliver this work. In 2005/6 we worked in North Liverpool and in 2006/7 the City and North area, which that year encompassed a greater geographical spread due to boundary changes within the NMS system. The tender has again been awarded to the Theatres to work in the City and North area for 2007/8.
Project 2007/08
The theme of the project this year is the changing face of the city and the relationship that the communities who live directly adjacent to the city centre have to it. Working with groups from the L1, Brownlow Hill, Dingle and Marybone, the project aims to unlock the communities thoughts, feelings, reactions and hopes towards the city centre. Through artistic sessions with a writer and a theatre practitoner, a video artist and theatre Director, the groups will creatively explore the way in which their community coexists with or thrives from the City Centre.
