About

The Citizens Theatre is an iconic venue and theatre company in the Gorbals area of Glasgow. We create ground-breaking theatre productions and empowering participatory projects, and we’re delighted to now welcome audiences, both new and old, into our beautifully redeveloped home.

We make bold productions of new plays and reinvent classics that speak to contemporary Scotland. We are passionate about engaging people and communities across Glasgow and beyond.

We have a rich history dating back to when our building first opened in 1878. But we’re always looking forward as one of Scotland’s flagship producing theatres.
