A CELEBRATION OF INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY 2010

Cumbernauld Theatre and the Studio Arts Forum welcome you to enjoy a day of recreational and interactive workshops, activities and entertainment.

These events are held to inspire women for what is now an official holiday in many parts of the world. IWD recognises the continuing struggle for women’s equal rights and opportunities worldwide and celebrates their achievements to date.

An Exhibition of Art by an International Group of Women Artists will be held in the Theatre Bar from Friday 5th March to Friday 12th March.

Registration forms for the workshops will be available from 10th February. As places are limited, allocation will be made on a first come first served basis.

The line up for INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY includes some well known people who are taking the workshop slots. STU WHO, the comedian, brought the original FUNNY FARM to Cumbernauld Theatre which included Fred MacAulay, Sandi Toksvig, Parrot, Bruce Morton and Craig Ferguson. STU will be appearing in the Old Fruitmarket venue on 11th March with Fred MacAulay. The Arts Forum has already experienced a delightful afternoon with STU when he gave a talk on his travels in China. He is taking an interactive session called "HIS-STORY" ......"why does mental start with men?"
