Theatres & Shows in Glasgow

Glasgow does theatre in ways that go well beyond a stage and red curtains. Bard in the Botanics puts Shakespeare outdoors and in the glasshouse at the Botanic Gardens, so you can spread a picnic rug on the grass or hire a stool if sitting on the ground isn't for you. Closer to the centre, iNTER Performing Arts Academy runs weekly musical theatre training from £135, with acting, singing, dance and two shows a year for anyone serious about performing rather than just watching. For something free, Toonspeak Young People's Theatre takes part from early years through to age 25 with no charge at all, which makes it the easy choice if cost matters or your child wants to try drama rather than watch it. Bard in the Botanics suits an evening out with older children who can sit through a play, especially with the picnic option. iNTER is the one for a longer-term commitment, with exams building towards those two big shows.
