The Mix Up is coming!! If you're into acting, writing, directing, or anything creative, you're in for a treat with The Mix Up. It's the event that brings our city's talent together for a night filled with live music, free food, amazing guest speakers, free prize giveaways, and a whole lot of mingling. This is your chance to rub elbows with fellow creatives in your field and get an insight on what makes them tick. You know the score in our line of work - your network is gold!The Mix Up is your opportunity to growing that network. You'll meet creatives alike and maybe even find your next big project, like I did last year.

The Mix up is the official Launch party for The uproar Festival.

The Liverpool John Moores University Drama Department proudly presents the UPROAR Festival 2025!

A vibrant and celebratory festival where emerging artists raise their voices in the creative heart of Liverpool.

From 29th April – 9th May, join them as UPROAR’s artists transform The Joe H Makin Building, The John Foster Drama Studio, and the surrounding community into a hub of bold, imaginative expression.With a diverse line-up of shows and an inclusive atmosphere, UPROAR provides a vital platform for emerging performers to tackle social issues and explore themes of identity, growth, relationships, and even procrastination. From original works to fresh adaptations, expect to laugh at our comedies, cry at our dramas, and leave buzzing with inspiration.

This year’s festival is particularly special as they bid farewell to the Joe H Makin building, a space that has nurtured creative minds for over 30 years. Join us and the team at Uproar in celebrating its legacy with performances that honour its history and the generations it has shaped.

At UPROAR, they believe theatre should be accessible to all. Whether you're a regular theatregoer or someone who only steps inside for a pantomime, there’s something here for you!

So, come join us and be part of an experience like no other. We've already thrown four successful mixers in the past, and this one's going be the best one yet. next week we will be releasing our guest speakers who will be joining us and also our fancy Mix Up Pack filled with all the information you need!
