We are committed to nurturing
inspiration and promoting creative growth and the magic of live
performance. We work to bring learning and joy to audiences in
communities across Scotland.
Citadel Arts Group produces plays and nurtures new playwrights of all
ages, especially mature writers. The company also brings together
writers, actors and directors, costume makers, sound engineers, prop
makers and theatre workers in a unique collaboration from a play’s start
to its finish. |

We believe theatre is a total
experience. It begins with the creation of a script through the WEA
Playwrights Workshop, grows in rehearsal, and culminates in a stage
performance which touches and challenges audiences. Our aim is to bring the generations together and reach people who do not often have access to live theatre in their own communities. |
