Montrose Playhouse: Community / Cinema / Arts

The Playhouse is a prominent, distinctive facility in Angus for social and cultural events which enables audiences and participants to see, experience, learn and create in a safe and welcoming environment.

With three beautiful, adaptable cinema screens, two flexible activity rooms, a modern, comfortable café bar and a packed programme of events, workshops, classes and activities aimed at all ages and abilities, The Playhouse is one of the most exciting new venues for the residents and visitors to Angus and South Aberdeenshire.

The brainchild of a local designer David Paton and facilitated by a group of local volunteers, The Playhouse is a not-for-profit facility run by individuals employed by The Montrose Playhouse Project SCIO Trustees who will retain overall governance. This will ensure that The Playhouse remains a facility which is truly for the community, by the community.

Montrose Playhouse  Ethos

Montrose Playhouse Project SCIO is now a Registered Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, ran by a group of local volunteers who over the last 9 years have fundraised, built an audience base, and worked with the community to ambitiously renovate the former swimming pool situated on The Mall, Montrose into an Arts Centre & Three-screen Cinema
