Family Day Fun!

On Saturday 12th December the Citizens Theatre held its first ever Family Day to accompany the Christmas production of Cinderella.

A number of family groups attended and it was a really fun afternoon. The families were given the opportunity to see some behind the scenes props and costumes from previous Citz productions. They also saw Jason Southgate's original designs for Cinderella and the set model box that the technical crew worked from when creating the set.

We also had lots of fun playing some games, doing some drama and making masks for the Prince's Ball. Everyone got stuck in and it was lovely to see family groups working together on tasks, having a great time.

We'll definitely be doing more of these events, so watch this space for details about the next one...

TAG's new show premieres next week...

Everyone here has been crazily busy with two big shows opening within a week. Ghosts opens tonight on the main stage, whilst TAG have been working hard to completely transform the main rehearsal room for Museum of Dreams, which has it's first performance on Tuesday next week.



This stunning new show created by TAG with friend and collaborator Ailie Cohen (pictured) is entirely wordless. Using beautiful imagery and sounds the young audience will be taken into the magical world of a lonely museum attendant.

With gorgeous puppets made by Ailie Cohen and Design by Francis Gallop, the audience are brought into a totally transformed room to see live performance, puppetry and projection.

From the very early days of a work-in-progress showing at Peebles, it's very exciting to have finally reached the premiere. We hope you'll be able to join us in Glasgow, but if not then we'll be at the Bank of Scotland Imaginate Festival, in Edinburgh from 28 May.

The capacity for this show is very small, so you'll need to be quick to grab the last few seats. One final word of warning which is really just for the adults. This show involves sitting on the floor, so best to wear comfy clothes!
