Welcome back to the Citizens Theatre. 

After years of transformation, we are throwing our doors open once more with Homecoming – a two-week celebration of creativity, community, and connection. This is more than a reopening. It’s a return to our roots, a tribute to our heritage, and the beginning of a bold new chapter. 

From a joyful street procession to hands-on workshops, open days, and performances, Homecoming  invites everyone to be part of the story. Whether you’ve been with us from the start or are stepping inside for the first time, this is your theatre. 

‘Mon in.
