In this magical makeover journey, the Fairy Godmother and Ugly Sister must work together to achieve a transformation really worth doing and discover that true worth is on the inside, not the outside. But will the Ugly Sister accept the help she needs or has she been wearing this ‘ugly’ label too long to change?

Cumbernauld Theatre is ready to transform into the magical Wondernauld with Ugly: A Cinderella Story, an unforgettable new spin on the classic Cinderella story from writer Gary McNair, opening this week. Check out all new photos here!

Next month, 54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club & Private Event Destination, presents some of the brightest stars from Broadway, cabaret, jazz, and beyond. A recipient of the 2022 Tony Awards Honor for Excellence in the Theatre, 54 Below celebrates Broadway musicals and writers of the past and present, promoting an ongoing engagement with their work.

Next month, in honor of Tartan Week in NYC, 54 BELOW presents SCOTS - an irreverent, hilarious 60-minute musical history of Scotland by the award-winning writing partnership Noisemaker (Scott Gilmour and Claire McKenzie).

When a tornado rips through her home, Dorothy Blawna-Gale and her trusty dog Tronto, find themselves landed in the mystical land of Oz. To get back to their beloved home they must embark on a treacherous and lethal journey through all sorts of hilarious bampoterry.

This year's show The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (23 Nov '22 - 8 Jan '23) sees our return to a full-scale production and will once again be written by the 'king of panto' Johnny McKnight - who will also don the gingham frock and ruby slippers made famous by Judy Garland, to play Dorothy Blawna-Gale.

A story about Scotland. Its past. Its present. Its future. It’s people. It’s places. All in under an hour! Award-winning musical theatre partnership Noisemaker are delighted to join for the first time with A Play, a Pie and a Pint to premiere this uplifting new musical to round out a dynamic and eclectic season of new work. Packed with raucous songs and rousing music, this journey through the ages will be a musical adventure you won’t want to miss!

Well, that's the life Cinderella leads. It's a pure nightmare - and her family? Well, they make the Kardashians look positively normal. She's got two idiotic step-brothers - Harry and Larry - who are incapable of doing anything for themselves; a Stepmother so wicked she makes Ann Widdecombe look warm and cuddly; AND she has to work morning, noon and night in the family dressmaking business, the only place with lovely memories of her deceased mother and father. It's not a happy life.

It's almost panto time at the Tron Theatre and this year we are delighted to announce that our 2019 pantomime CINDERFELLA (27th Nov 2019 - 5th Jan 2020) is set to defy convention once again by featuring an all-women cast of Tron panto legends, just one year after progressive panto Mammy Goose portrayed a heart-warming tale of same-sex love between two heroes. Penned once again by the inimitable Johnny McKnight, this year's pantomime Christmas show will be directed and designed by the undisputed king of panto glitz Kenny Miller!

National Theatre has announced its listings for May - October 2019. Check out the full lineup below!

Mammy Goose always thought she was going to be somebody, though life hasn't quite worked out like that. Her dreams of glittering Holyrood parties hob-knobbing with the Scottish elite like The Krankies and Sean Batty have gone down the pan. The frying pan. Her life is less Debbie McGhee more McGhee's the Bakers. She's working her fingers to the bone in that wee cafe of hers with her only friend in the world is Lucy - a talking Goose (and you can imagine the stares in street walking arm-in-arm with a 6ft goose).

It's almost panto time at the Tron Theatre and this year we are delighted to announce that our 2018 pantomime MAMMY GOOSE (27 Nov '18 - 6 Jan '19) is once again written by, directed by and starring the undisputed king of panto Johnny McKnight! This year's run also welcomes McCrea Financial Services, one of Scotland's leading independent financial advisers, as our sponsors.
