The Citizens Theatre is an iconic venue and theatre company based in the Gorbals area of Glasgow, Scotland.
Our building first opened as a theatre in 1878. The Citizens company was founded in 1943 by James Bridie, and the Citizens Theatre was permanently established in 1945. Since then it has been one of Scotland’s flagship producing theatres.
The Citizens has a distinguished history that continues today, presenting a world-class repertoire based on British and foreign classics, contemporary plays and new writing. Use What’s On to view current productions or visit our Archive pages for recent past productions.
Our company has two Artistic Directors at the helm, Guy Hollands and Jeremy Raison who direct their own productions and have responsibility for programming the work of the theatre as a whole. By also inviting a diverse range of touring work into the theatre, we aim to offer a powerful mix of productions that upholds our reputation as the place to see theatre in Glasgow.
We provide high quality main house and studio productions, theatre for children and young people, a regular programme of theatre on tour, a Young Co., a Community Company and a pioneering range of creative participatory projects delivered by Learning and TAG. We have extensive backstage workshop facilities and make our own sets and costumes.
