The Epstein Theatre is launching its own youth theatre aimed at people from across Merseyside aged between 14-19.

Theatre management is holding open auditions on 8 July at Hope Street Limited for any young people interested in joining the theatre which will begin this September.

Organisers say The Epstein Youth Theatre will provide “interested and like-minded youths with the opportunity to experience everything that the world of theatre has to offer”.

Those interested in joining are encouraged to attend the audition; successful teens will then be offered a place to join the youth theatre, for a fee of £10 per session.

The theatre will also be awarding four free scholarships per year to suitable candidates.

Rebekah Pichilingi, theatre manager, says: “We all know that Liverpool is full to the brim of young talent, and our new youth theatre will welcome those individuals who wish to learn the craft of theatre.

“It will give them first-hand stage experience from leading theatre practitioners who will help develop crucial skills for young people interested in a career in the theatre, or just looking to have some fun and learn new skills.

“Everyone at The Epstein Theatre is looking forward to this exciting new venture and we cannot wait to meet our auditionees!”

All audition materials will be provided and hopefuls needn’t prepare anything.
