A resident acting company will return to Liverpool Everyman Theatre from January as part of plans for the future.

This will see the theatres connecting more with the city’s communities while continuing to create inspirational work on stage. The new approach aims to inspire and nurture local actors, writers, creatives and audiences but to have impact nationally and, in time, internationally.

The Company, made famous at the Everyman in the 1970s, will allow a group of actors to engage with the city’s communities.

The Company season will run from January until July each year. This will be followed by an autumn season featuring co-productions with theatre companies who share a similar ethos.

The return of the Company sees a resident repertory ensemble at the Everyman for the first time for 25 years.
