Great shows, affordable cuppas, and loads of chances to get creative — make Capital Theatres your new student space!
Love theatre? Let’s connect!
No matter what you’re studying, if you’re into the performing arts, we want to hear from you! Our Student Ambassadors help us make sure our theatres are welcoming, exciting spaces for students across Edinburgh.
In return, we’ll hook you up with opportunities, insights, and some seriously great behind-the-scenes access to the world of theatre.
So, what’s it all about?
Our Student Ambassador programme runs from September to May. You’ll join an online meet-up every two months—nothing too intense, just a space to chat theatre news, share ideas, and hear about ways you can get involved.
After each meeting, we’ll send out a list of optional activities—pick what works for you! We totally get that uni, life, and looking after yourself come first.
