Vision: To be the cultural heart of Cumbernauld and North Lanarkshire, engaging our communities and strengthening Scottish performing arts.
Mission: We bring people together through performances on stage and screen, provide opportunities to create and take part in the arts and help develop Scotland’s performing arts professionals.
Cumbernauld Theatre is a regional performing arts venue serving Cumbernauld’s population of 55,000+ and the surrounding communities of North Lanarkshire and the northern corridor, as well as neighbouring areas including Falkirk. The organisation presents a programme of diverse, professional performing arts and cinema events, opportunities for the local community to take part in creative activities, development support for Scotland’s creative performing arts sector and, in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council, provides an excellent venue for local community performing arts organisations to present their own work. With a 60-year history of producing our own theatre, we continue to support emerging directors and creatives.
