The Epstein Theatre in Liverpool has received £46,300 from the Heritage Lottery Fund for a project called Celebrating the Epstein.
Led by members of staff with the help and participation of enthusiastic local volunteers, the project will focus on the theatre’s history and the central role it played in forming the city’s artistic heritage.
The Epstein has had several different names since it first opened as The Crane’s Music Hall in 1913. Commenting on the award, general manager Rebekah Pichilingi said, “we are confident the project will allow the people of Liverpool to take an enormous amount of pride in the cultured and creative city that they call home.”
