To mark the 60th anniversary of Everyman Theatre founding, and the ten-year anniversary of the Stirling Prize-winning new theatre opening, the Everyone Starts Somewhere campaign has been launched. The fundraising appeal has been launched with the support of many of the theatre’s alumni including Stephanie Beacham, Leanne Best, Kevin Harvey, David Morrissey, Willy Russell, Josie Sedgwick-Davies, Darci Shaw, Alison Steadman, Cathy Tyson and Julie Walters.
The aim for Everyone Starts Somewhere is to highlight the importance of regional theatres such as the Everyman, not just for theatre but also the film and tv industry around the world. There's also an ambition to raise £60,000 across the next 12 months towards talent development, supporting the award-winning Young Everyman Playhouse and bringing new diverse voices to the stages.
The year also includes the world premiere of Tell Me How It Ends by Tasha Dowd, a graduate of Young Everyman Playhouse; a main stage production by Young Everyman Playhouse in July; Martin McDonagh’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore directed by Chris Sonnex ; and the legendary Rock ‘n’ Roll panto, Rapunzel.
"It's a theatre that means so much to me, giving me such a wonderful experience as a young actor to learn, gain confidence and take my first steps in the profession. That support of young talent continues to this day and I hope long into its next 60 years."
