WHAT WE DO

  • We believe that talent should never be limited by cost.

    That’s why we offer free rehearsal, performance, and table read spaces to all emerging theatre makers in Glasgow. Providing an environment where you can develop your ideas, practice your craft, and bring your productions to life without the financial stress of booking expensive venues.

  • We're your go-to source for everything happening on our small stages, from exploring our incredible local productions to sharing new opportunities to get involved with.

    Whether you're a seasoned director, a budding actor, or a backstage wizard, our goal is to inform you of the opportunity, resources and advice you need to thrive and enjoy your theatrical journey through Glasgow!

  • Getting a show from an idea to opening night can be tough, and we want to help you get your foot in the door. We offer direct development and producing support for emerging artists. Whether you need guidance on script development, navigating the Fringe festival circuit, or general logistical support for your production, we are here to act as your experienced partner.

  • We aren’t just a space provider; we’re a platform for your professional growth. We host a regular calendar of skills development workshops and industry networking events designed to connect Glasgow’s brightest emerging talent. From masterclasses that sharpen your toolkit to social nights where you’ll meet your next collaborator, we create the environment for you to level up.

  • We don’t just host theatre; we make it. We are proud to produce our own original shows, built from the ground up using the incredible wealth of local Glasgow talent. From casting homegrown actors to collaborating with the city’s finest emerging designers and directors, our productions are a celebration of the creativity right on our doorstep. When you see an Under The Rug show, you’re seeing the future of Glasgow theatre in action.
