Breaking the Class Ceiling – A Live Exploration of Working Class Artistry (Plus Scratch Open Mic)

Event Partner Unity Theatre Liverpool
Admission Free
Start Time 3:00 PM
End Time 6:30 PM

Join us for an unflinching, live panel discussion that bridges the gap between Unity’s 1930s ‘Workers’ Theatre’ roots and Liverpool’s contemporary creative scene.

In an era where the ‘class ceiling’ remains a challenging barrier in the arts, how do creatives and radical makers keep momentum? We bring together five Liverpool working-class artists to discuss the politics of the stage, the power of heritage, and the future of working-class storytelling.

Following our headline panel discussion, we’re offering a space for working-class creatives to test new ideas, political rants, or works in progress.

Followed by Radical Scratch Open Mic 5-6.30pm Part of Unity’s Heritage Lottery Funded project.
