In 2025 we continued relationships with Eastbank Academy, Saint Roch’s and Whitehill Secondary School and began new ones with St Andrews Academy in Carntyne and St Margaret Mary’s Secondary School in Castlemilk.

If you are a teacher and planning ahead for Autumn 2026, then our Tron Theatre Company autumn production of Antigone comes with a range of free resources designed to offer students an insight into the theatre making process, including:

• Teacher’s Insight session
• Pre or post-show workshops
• Inside the Rehearsal Room experience for pupils on the main stage with director and actors
• Access to our archive recording to support studying Higher/Advanced Higher Drama

TRON AMBASSADORS
Re-imagining the traditional work placement, Tron Ambassadors is a year-long, work experience programme for S4-S6 pupils interested in finding out about careers and training in the creative industries.

Activities include seeing and reviewing performances, back-stage tours and practical workshops where Ambassadors will work with different Tron departments, identifying and developing key creative and transferable skills for career pathways.

Recruitment for academic year 2026-27 took place in June 2026. Recruitment for 27/28 will happen in June 2027.

TRON TAKE OVER
A project for young people to gain experience of working within the creative industries.

In 2026 we will work with schools from the east end of Glasgow who will each be offered two taster workshops open to S4, S5 and S6 pupils. Workshops will explore non-performance roles in the arts with a follow up CV workshop to identify transferable skills.

Everyone taking part in these workshops will have the opportunity to apply to be involved in the Tron Take Over project, through a ‘formal’ application process. This process will include shortlisting, a recruitment workshop and interview, and for successful applications, will lead to the offer of a role in the Tron Take Over.

The Take Over group will work with The Snaw Queen team, exploring a range of backstage roles involved in bringing the pantomime to the stage, including directing, stage management, costume design, sound design, marketing and front of house. Working alongside the Tron staff team, participants will ‘take over’ the Tron, delivering an extract from The Snaw Queen on stage, to parents, carers and teachers, as a curtain raiser to a special performance of the pantomime.

If you are interested in any of our opportunities for schools, please contact participation@tron.co.uk
