New operator named for Liverpool theatre
Liverpool's Epstein Theatre, which was formerly known as The Neptune, is to be revived as a "lively music venue" after Liverpool Sound City was selected as its new operator.
The building, which first opened as Crane's Music Hall in 1911, underwent a £1m overhaul earlier this year and renamed after the former Beatles manager Brian Epstein.
Liverpool City Council (LCC) has now chosen Liverpool Sound City to operate The Epstein Theatre based on its plans to organise a "strong programme of music".
The organisation also pledged to use the building in order to showcase "cutting edge art and pop culture", which is expected to range from drama productions to exhibitions.
LCC cabinet member for culture and tourism Wendy Simon said: "Liverpool is famed worldwide for its musical offer, and this new venture will provide the perfect platform for the city's up and coming artists."
Liverpool Sound City chief executive David Pichilingi added: "We believe our vision for the Epstein will put our city firmly on the map and show Liverpool as a 21st century pop culture city."
