The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Call to Stage on the successful staging of its production of Spring Awakening in Glasgow, following the sudden closure of the Centre for Contemporary Arts; notes the determination of the company, led by co-founders Olivia Attwooll-Keith and Jennifer Warren, alongside director Joseph Reid, assistant director Gregor Robertson and musical director Moray McConnachie, to ensure the show went ahead despite the last-minute venue challenges; recognises the efforts of the entire production team and 14 cast members, who continued rehearsals while juggling full-time jobs, demonstrating creativity, resilience and commitment to the arts; appreciates the support of the National Piping Centre in providing an alternative venue, enabling the performance to take place; believes that this achievement highlights the vital importance of independent theatre in Scotland, the dedication of early-career artists and the contribution of the arts to Scotland’s cultural life, and commends all those involved for their extraordinary perseverance and inspiring work.
