By committing to new commissions, increased development time, script-in-hand readings, we will give artists the space to test ideas and bring new stories to life. Additionally, by commissioning new work and supporting artists at early- and mid- career stages, we help strengthen the wider theatre sector and ensure fresh Scottish voices continue to reach audiences at home and beyond.

Theatre should belong to everyone. Our engagement programmes bring creative opportunities to communities across Highland Perthshire and beyond.

Through our young people and schools programmes, we introduce theatre through workshops, performances and creative play – often providing these young people with their first experience of live performance, offered for free or low cost. Community participation is central to our work, from large-scale productions involving local people to informal gatherings, outdoor events and shared experiences. Together, these activities celebrate the communities who have shaped the Theatre over the past 75 years and ensure it remains a true Theatre for All.

Donate to help us –

• Introduce hundreds of children to live performance – for many, their very first experience of theatre
• Deliver a year-round programme of workshops to support early years to young adults with theatre provision, including a relaunched youth theatre
• Invite 75 community members to take part in 2026’s Community Stages, a day of professionally led theatre workshops culminating in a performance
• Host events throughout our anniversary year to bring together our community, and the theatre’s place in that, such as Picnics in the Park an intergenerational opportunity to come together.
