What We Did Next is a new group producing great musical theatre for and by the community of Liverpool. It sprang up in the summer of 2008 from the realisation that the central Liverpool community had no focus to gather around in order to put on great musicals, whilst having a rehearsal schedule that fits around people's busy lives and also aiming to provide a vibrant social scene.

We know that a lot of people love being connected to the stage in whatever way possible and think this love provides the perfect excuse to socialise with like minded people. With this in mind we aim to produce musicals that our members want to perform, theatre that gets people interested, involved and thinking.

Most of us have been involved in amateur theatre before and we've all enjoyed our many and varied experiences. But after a while everyone gets that feeling, that the time has come to take some ownership of what we exhibit on stage, make it our own, make it a success.

It's time to take a good look back on all we've learnt in the past, get together with exciting new friends, and leap forward into performing spectacular shows.
This is what we did next.
