Creative Communities: Children & Families

Sharing the joy of stories develops confidence, builds literacy and boosts wellbeing

From the very earliest years, a love of stories, theatre and creative play grows.

“The partnership with Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse theatres has seen 100’s of children and young people introduced to live theatre; it has been a life-changing experience.”
