New Works
Nurturing and empowering local talent is at the heart of what we do
Our New Works team creates opportunities for artists in Liverpool and the North West to hone skills, develop new projects and build a creative community.
Whether it’s training on one of our writers’ programmes, using our spaces to workshop a new play, or just coming to one of our regular freelance mixers, we’ve got something to support theatre makers in the city.
We’re always looking to build relationships with our local freelance community, so please do introduce yourself. Spend time in our Writers’ Room or Playhouse Studio, invite us to your production, or just say hi at an event – we’d love to get to know you.
And if there’s something else you’d like to talk to us about, just drop us a line.
