Cumbernauld Theatre: Uniting through sustainable arts for positive change in Scotland.
Lanternhouse is a performing arts centre jointly managed by North Lanarkshire Council and Cumbernauld Theatre, a third sector arts charity.
This unique partnership offers creatively independent, professional, performing arts production and programming capacity and grass roots, community embedded, arts engagement, whilst benefitting from the facility management services of the Public Sector. The hybrid model promotes the local sense of community ownership of the venue, whilst ensuring the venue is managed to the high standards of public sector property management.
Our charity started life in 1963 as an informal group of local arts enthusiasts promoting events for Cumbernauld’s newly established town’s folk.
Cumbernauld itself was a new town, perhaps one of the most ambitious modernist designs of the 20th century in the UK and its masterplan represented all kinds of aspirations for a modern way of life.
Cumbernauld Theatre Trust is committed to upholding the Scottish Government’s Fair Work First policy. We aspire to foster an organisational culture where employees are fully engaged in our mission, supported through continuous training and development opportunities, and where we actively promote positive approaches to ensure CTT continues to be an adaptable, responsive and innovative workplace.
