About Us

Cumbernauld Theatre grew up along with the new town of Cumbernauld and is the artistic and cultural heart of the community.

Recent years have seen a great deal of change in the organisation and we have grown to enjoy a national and international reputation for producing quality arts experiences for a wide ranging and diverse audience.

Our Vision

To bring the artist and the audience together in a way that is mutually beneficial, changes perspectives and shapes the future. In doing this we recognise and value each experience as unique and apply it to the wider development of our society and culture.

We focus these experiences around a programme of performance and workshop activity directed at a wide range of participants with particular emphasis on youth and community access.

What We Do

• We produce theatre in house and tour theatre across Scotland and internationally.
• We are market leaders in the provision of Arts in Education and Life Long Learning and have won several awards for our cutting edge programmes which have attracted the attention of government and multi national corporations.
• We present three seasons of visiting programme that brings local, national and international companies and artists together in our unique and intimate auditorium and studio theatre.
• We work strategically with a wide network of organisations including business, arts, education and government bodies to find innovative ways of developing creative communities.
• We open the doors of our unique building and make our spaces and equipment available to artists and groups who share and inform our vision.
• We run two bars and many events for people who want to relax over a pint and drink in the ambience.
• We support a performer's music forum, eight youth theatres, an adult drama company, and many associated amateur companies.

Who Helps Us

Helping us achieve all of this are Scottish Arts Council, North Lanarkshire Council, our sponsors Scottish Power Learning, and Business Club members Morgan Stanley. Without their generous support in the form of grants and donations we would not be able to bring the range and breadth of experiences to over 50,000 people per year.

We are, in short, the best in the world at what we do!
