Outreach

We support eight youth theatre groups and an adult drama company - No Mean Company - who participate in weekly workshops and regularly produce theatre for our main and studio auditoria. Cumbernauld Performers Forum hold regular Acoustic Nights here.

We have worked with community education departments, social inclusion partnerships and with organisations like Young Scot and Careers Scotland in touring workshops and performances to venues in urban and rural locations.

Youth Theatres

  • Saturday Drama Workshops for children aged 5-10 . Our tutors are all Theatre or Community Arts graduates and they provide stimulating expressive, creative workshop programmes incorporating music, masks, puppets. Parents are regularly invited to enjoy open workshop sessions and participate in a few drama games! This years workshop programme has included a Harry Potter Halloween party, an Aesops Fables Day, and a mask workshop based on the riddle of the sphinx.
  • 4 Youth theatre companies, Y1, Y2, Y3 and Seniors for 11 - 21 year olds. The Youth theatre is open to all, we do not hold with auditions for entry, although its popularity sometimes means a long stretch on a waiting list. We try to ensure all members will get an opportunity to perform at least once a year, and there are many opportunities to get involved with backstage work.
  • Senior youth theatre. As well as participating in large scale productions, recent productions include Macbeth for the Bard in the Botanics and Sing for Absolution for the NTS Exchange Festival. The seniors regularly enjoy theatre visits, participating in the annual international BIG YOUTH THEATRE FESTIVAL, opportunities annually to write, direct and produce their own work, visits to other youth theatres and local theatres festival and SYT summer festival.
