The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Dumfries Guild of Players on 60 years of ownership of the historic Theatre Royal in Dumfries, which was opened in 1792 and frequented by Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns; acknowledges that the group has undertaken extensive restorative work to return the premises to functional use as a working theatre for the local community, using funds awarded through Historic Environment Scotland, Creative Scotland, Dumfries and Galloway Council and The Holywood Trust, and recognises the work that the theatre staff and volunteers do to engage with and support marginalised groups in the community with continued professional development through programmes such as the Arts Award scheme, which supports young people with learning disabilities to learn theatre craft.
