Theatre in Schools Scotland has been developed by Imaginate and the National Theatre of Scotland, to bring bold, inspiring, live theatre and dance productions into Scotland’s schools and nurseries.
The year-round programme of touring performances offers schools and teachers the opportunity to present acclaimed shows, created especially for younger audiences, for pupils at school. Performances take place in the school hall or in classrooms and are available to book anywhere in Scotland.
Our productions are by a variety of Scottish performing companies and are designed specifically with schools in mind, suitable for their buildings and age appropriate for their pupils. We arrange all practicalities to ensure maximum enjoyment and learning from the visit, with minimum disruption to the school day.
The programme is now year-round and available throughout Scotland and suitable for classes from Nursery to S1.
