00:01The Epstein Theatre in Liverpool says it's continuing to thrive after being
00:05included on a national list of theatres considered at risk. Manager Hayley Smitten told the BBC that
00:11the venue has shows booked well into the future and believes it now has a secure position.
00:16Theatre's Trust says the listing does not mean closure is expected but highlights concerns about
00:21proposed changes to the building. The theatre reopened in 2025 following a period of closure
00:28after Liverpool City Council ended financial support. The Trust says it wants to ensure future
00:34plans do not affect the venue's long-term viability. Further discussions are continuing
00:40about the theatre's future arrangements.
