Hi Everyone and Welcome our latest New Works Newsletter.
This week is an exciting one for us at the Everyman & Playhouse. We are currently teching our Playhouse Christmas offer of A Christmas Carol, ready to open to the public on Saturday. The cast, creative and production teams have been rehearsing for a very different kind of performance, but one we hope will bring lots of joy to audiences.
We’re also gearing up for the Everyman Christmas Cabarets and are so thrilled to be able to present and support artists and freelancers from across the city. The cabarets are an opportunity to showcase local artists and companies, and to have a fantastic festive night out.
In this email we have our usual updates, round up of some opportunities and some what’s on notices. Remember you can email us at newworks@everymanplayhouse.com with your own updates to include, or with any questions you have for us.
Thank you and we hope to see you soon!
