Bringing the industry closer.

You shouldn’t have to travel to London every time you want to learn from someone working in the industry.

Wirral to West End brings performers, creatives, Musical Directors and casting professionals to the North West for specialist workshops and coaching.

These are opportunities to build on your existing training, try something new and work with people who know the rehearsal room first-hand.

People who are living it,
breathing it.

Meet some of the professionals who have joined us, bringing experience across West End theatre, touring productions and screen work.
