Student Ambassador programme
A network of students, active from September to June, working with our Marketing, Digital and Communications teams to promote theatre and involvement among students and young people. It’s a unique opportunity for students to gain an insight into working in the arts industry while supporting audience development for one of Scotland’s leading cultural organisations.
Information about our 2026/27 programme coming soon.
