The motion

That the Parliament celebrates the upcoming reopening of Glasgow’s historic Citizens Theatre; understands that the multi-million pound refurbishment of the theatre is nearing completion and that the theatre will reopen to the public in summer 2025; recognises that the refurbishment is the first comprehensive redevelopment of the building since it began life as a working theatre in 1878; notes that the renovation features include the creation of welcoming social and rehearsal spaces, a new studio with flexible seating, allowing performance in the round for the first time in Glasgow’s recent history, increased seating capacity in the auditorium, improved backstage facilities, and improvements to sustainability and weather-proofing; recognises that the refurbishment improves accessibility to the theatre while retaining its unique Victorian features, and welcomes the reopening of the theatre, which will secure the future of this treasured building for the people of Glasgow for generations to come.
