The Actor’s Training Programme is for artists interested in performing who meet the following criteria;

• aged 18+
• based in Merseyside 
• early career (by this we mean either that you have little to no professional acting experience, or that you have some professional acting experience but no formal training in theatre)
• Preference will be given to artists who have faced barriers when accessing training, for instance:
  • People from the Global Majority
  • People with barriers accessing education or training
  • LGBTQIA+ people
  • People who have faced financial challenges
  • Deaf and Disabled people
  • Migrant artists 
  • People who have experienced mental and/or physical health challenges
  • People with extra responsibilities at home (e.g. primary caregiver for a relative or responsible for the care of children)

This is because these artists have been historically underrepresented in the Liverpool theatre industry, and elsewhere. 

Supported by Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse. With support from LAMDA and Unity Theatre.
