The Cottage That Became A Theatre

This brand-new production by People's Theatre Company tells the story of a cottage... a cottage that became Cumbernauld Theatre!

The Cottage That Became A Theatre

About The Cottage That Became A Theatre

This is the story of a cottage. A cottage that became a theatre.
It was much more than a theatre. It became a community hub.
A place to socialise, create and dream. A building with so many stories.
It’s time to tell the tales. Celebrate the past.
Remember the shows of old. Look to the future.
This is the story of a cottage. A cottage that became Cumbernauld theatre.

This brand-new production by People’s Theatre Company celebrates the 60th anniversary of The Cottage Theatre and Cumbernauld Theatre formed from stories captured in the community and from the testimony of those who created the performances at the Cottage Theatre and Cumbernauld Theatre.

Written and directed by Lawrence Crawford. 
Story input from Studio Arts Forum and the People Theatre Company cast.
