CAN I USE MY ILA ACCOUNT TO PAY FOR CLASSES AT THE THEATRE?
I’m afraid we are not a registered ILA Scotland provider, and as such your ILA cannot be used to pay for our classes. ILA Scotland provide a list of all registered providers. To determine if you are eligible for a concession price, please contact Box Office when appropriate.

CAN I BOOK CONCESSION TICKETS ONLINE?
No, not yet, as our concession tickets require a proof of eligibility we are currently unable to offer them online, but we are reviewing procedures to allow this to happen in future. You can contact our Box Office directly on 0141 429 0022.

CAN I BUY CITIZENS THEATRE GIFT VOUCHERS?
We sell gift vouchers, which are available in denominations of £1, 5, 10, and 20.  They can be redeemed against tickets for any of our productions.  Please note that we are unable to accept “Theatre Tokens”. Gift Vouchers are bought directly through our box office either in person or by phone (0141 429 0022) and can be posted out to you.

I AM A PROMOTER AND WOULD LIKE TO BOOK CITIZENS OR TAG WORK, WHERE CAN I FIND OUT ABOUT YOUR TOURING THEATRE?
Please see our Touring Work page

I HAVE WRITTEN A PLAY AND WOULD LIKE YOU TO PRODUCE IT. TO WHOM SHOULD I SEND THIS?
Unfortunately our Artistic Directors do not have enough time to read all unsolicited scripts. You can however send scripts to the address below:

FAO Script-reader
c/o Citizens Theatre
119 Gorbals Street
Glasgow, G5 9DS

Please note that due to the high volume of enquiries we receive we cannot guarantee a personal response. 
If you are Scottish or Scotland-based, your play can also be sent to Fuse (who read on behalf of most Scottish theatre companies). NB. The Traverse Theatre read their own scripts.

I’M NOT SURE WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN I GET TO THE THEATRE. CAN YOU HELP?
You can familiarise yourself with the theatre through our virtual tours of the venues and foyer. You can read Access information here or alternatively call the Box Office on 0141 429 0022 who will be happy to answer any further queries.

HOW DO THE SEARCH CATEGORIES WORK ON THIS SITE?
In order to help you find the information you need really quickly, we have made the content on this site searchable through a number of categories. These are split into type of activity, suitable audience, location of activity (i.e. whether it’s at the Citizens Theatre, or on tour), who has produced it (this helps you to differentiate the work), and finally by feeds - i.e. our interactive content from Twitter, Flickr, Blogger and YouTube. You can search these categories here, or by clicking any of the coloured boxes or Producer names within any listing.
