Citizens Theatre Information

The Citizens Theatre is Glasgow’s major producing theatre and one of the leading theatre companies in the UK. Based in a beautiful Victorian theatre dating from 1878 in the Gorbals area of Glasgow, it is led by Artistic Director, Dominic Hill and Executive Director, Alex McGowan. The Citizens has a distinguished history spanning over 70 years and has built an international reputation for producing dynamic and innovative work, centered on bold new interpretations of classic texts. Productions on stage are presented alongside a highly regarded programme of participatory and education work, with a special emphasis on work with children, young people and socially excluded adults. As its name suggests, the Citizens Theatre believes that theatre can enhance and transform the lives of people of all ages, cultures and social backgrounds. As of June 2018, the building is currently closed for a major redevelopment. During this time we will be presenting shows at Tramway and across Scotland.
