 Converted Church |
93 Hyndland Street Glasgow G11 5PX United Kingdom +44 141 357 3868 |
The Cottier Theatre is undoubtedly one of the most atmospheric venues in the city. A converted church, it has retained the true beauty of the original building, characterised most prominently by magnificent stained glass windows. The theatre itself has a capacity of around 350 with Cottier's bar and restaurant on the premises, providing the opportunity before performances for quality food and drink in unique surroundings. There's a well-structured cultural programme, including theatre, music (ranging from popular to classical), dance and comedy. Despite its relatively small size, it quite often attracts well-known names to Glasgow and is certainly worth a look. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Jazz, rock and pantomimes |
6 Granville Street Charing Cross Glasgow G3 7DR United Kingdom +44 141 287 4855 |
The Mitchell Theatre complex is a truly breathtaking building, guarded on the outside by two imposing sculpted Titans. The interior is equally magnificent, though fully equipped and modern, and provides a splendid platform for a range of productions. The theatre itself is perhaps best known for its concerts and shows, including jazz, pantomime and variety performances. However, it is also a well-renowned dance venue and has welcomed many of Europe's most acclaimed choreographers. Whilst providing a showcase for Scotland's theatre companies, the Mitchell is also involved in children's workshops and amateur productions. The adjoined Moir Hall caters for a range of functions and lectures. Tickets for all performances can be obtained from the box office at King's Theatre. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Scotland's national dance company |
261 West Princes Street Glasgow G4 9EE United Kingdom +44 141 331 2931 http://www.scottishballet.co.uk/ |
Originally the Western Theatre Ballet formed in 1957, Scottish Ballet is the national dance company and is now based in Glasgow. Presenting around 100 performances every year, the company prides itself on a combination of classical technical expertise and innovation. Its productions range dramatically in size and complexity, playing a range of venues around the country (including the smallest and most remote). The highest quality can be relied upon. Like the other main national arts organisations (Scottish Opera, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra), Scottish Ballet is committed to educating people, hosting a range of projects including workshops and summer schools.

Opera, ballet and theatre |
282 Hope Street Glasgow G2 3QA United Kingdom +44 141 332 9000 http://www.theatreroyalglasgow... |
Formerly called Bayliss' Colisseum and Opera House and opened in 1867, the Theatre Royal has a long and colourful history. Twice destroyed by fire then sold for conversion into a television studio complex, the theatre reaffirmed its status as the national centre for opera in 1975. It was extensively refurbished in 1997 and has four floors (each of which has a Victorian bar), with a total capacity of 1555. The theatre's home company, Scottish Opera, is the largest performing arts organisation in the country, delivering a consistently staggering quality of production (ranging from Puccini to Shakespeare). In addition to opera, this venue presents ballet, drama, lyric and children's theatre and is definitely the place to be for classy culture. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Unusual theatre venue |
25 Albert Drive Glasgow G41 2PE United Kingdom +44 141 287 3900 http://www.tramway.org/ |
Tramway is more than just a theatre. Since a massive refurbishment in the late 1990s, it has been equipped to truly live up to its vision of being one of the leading contemporary visual and performing arts venues in Europe. It has a varied programme of theatre, dance, talks, exhibitions, performance art and workshops. More importantly, it has character. Formerly a tram depot built in 1895, Tramway still has a unique atmosphere that makes you feel like you are in a place untainted and at the heart of real culture. A cafe-bar is open during the day for snacks and meals and an additional bar is available for drinks before and after shows. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Formerly known as the Tron Kirk |
63 Trongate Glasgow G1 5HB United Kingdom +44 141 552 4267 http://www.tron.co.uk/ |
This former church got its name from the public weighing machine which was located outside. The steeple is all that remains of the original 16th century church as the rest was destroyed by members of the Hellfire Club in 1793. The Tron Kirk was built the same year to replace this and is now the Tron Theatre. It's mostly used by touring companies but also hosts in-house productions and collaborations. The Tron prides itself on presenting music, contemporary dance and drama, comedy, children's shows and workshops. In addition to the main theatre, the complex has a studio theatre for smaller productions. Both are splendid venues with distinct warmth and friendliness. A stylish restaurant is recommended for food before performances and there's a bar for interval refreshments. Review © 2007, Wcities |
