My thoughts in the @heraldscotland.bsky.social on the current situation at Cumbernauld Theatre, which after being turned down for multi year funding by Creative Scotland may be forced to close its doors before the end of this year.

Is cultural snobbery behind the death sentence of this Scots arts organisation?
With Cumbernauld Theatre's future on the line, we should act or risk losing a vital part of Scottish Theatre.
