We believe art and culture can transform lives.

Welcome to the Everyman Theatre's Education and Community Department! Our award-winning team are passionate about enriching the lives of our local community through innovative creative and cultural engagement. Join us in celebrating the transformative power of the arts and get involved!

Not ‘just’ a Theatre…

The Everyman Theatre strives to make the arts accessible to everyone.

Through all our Education and Community work – including our vibrant youth theatre, Everyvoice choirs, community arts projects, artist development workshops, and creative health groups - we aim to foster resilient creative communities and improve quality of life in Gloucestershire.

Our mission is to deliver high-quality arts opportunities that have a positive social impact, bring together Gloucestershire’s talented performing arts workforce (whilst nurturing the next generation…) and break down barriers to arts and culture.

What We Do

Through workshops, creative activities, performances, and outreach projects, our talented team work collaboratively to foster creativity, connection, and personal growth.

Our work is community led and inclusive, we believe all communities should have the opportunity to experience the transformative power of the arts.

If you’d said last year, I’d be on stage singing with a choir I’d have not believed you but here we are. Social anxiety makes it difficult for people like me… (but) there is literally a place for every voice in the EveryVoice Choir.

My son has learnt so many skills at Youth Theatre over the years and has gained a lot of confidence. He’s made an incredible friendship group and values every minute he is there. I think his dedication shows how much he really enjoys Everyman Youth Theatre.

This is how performing arts education for 16-19 year olds should look.
