Working with Charcoalblue on our hugely ambitious capital development has been nothing less than a godsend. They immediately understood our artistic vision, working alongside us as the very best critical friends, and have been inventive and pragmatic in helping us realise our dreams. Suffice it to say we always look forward to our regular consultations with Andy and his team.

EVERYMAN THEATRE
LIVERPOOL

PROJECT BUDGET: £28 million
ANTICIPATED COMPLETION: Summer 2013
PROJECT ARCHITECT: Haworth Tompkins


...reviving Liverpool’s cultural and theatrical heritage


Project summary

Following a detailed feasibility study, Charcoalblue has been appointed by the Liverpool and Everyman Theatres Trust to assist them in the redevelopment of the Everyman theatre and the addition of new facilities to serve the theatre, including an education studio, redeveloped workshop, and administration accommodation. This major development will create an inspiring legacy with new employment and training opportunities, as well as opening up the theatre experience to children, young people and communities across Merseyside.

 

The project has recently received £12.8million investment from the Arts Council and designs are now being developed for the new Everyman Theatre.


"I'm delighted that the Arts Council have put their faith in the Everyman as an indispensable cornerstone of Liverpool's cultural life. A rebuilt Everyman will nurture the coming generation of artists and audiences, continue its long tradition of relaxed hospitality in Hope St and seek a place in the forefront of Liverpool's public architecture."
