Citizens Theatre, Glasgow

Theatreplan provided theatre consultancy for the project at the historic Citizens Theatre, which has conserved, repaired, and expanded the theatre.

Theatreplan was instrumental in the transformation of the Victorian theatre, readying it for the next decades by increasing capacity, comfort and accessibility, and transforming the technical installations all while preserving the character of this historic space.

A key focus of Theatreplan's work was the reconfiguration of audience seating, which increased from just 56 to 139 seats. An additional 36 seats were also created in the stalls, delivering a total gain of 119 seats. These improvements were achieved with careful consideration of existing architectural features, ensuring compliance with modern standards for safety and access.

The theatre is due to reopen on the 23rd August 2025, and the season will kick off in early September.
