It's back for Christmas 2019 - my massive round up of festive theatre. Picking my faves is very hard, all the options for under 6's are excellent and you won't be disappointed by Citz, Tron, Cumbernauld or Scottish Youth Theatre. My boys are mad for Fun Box at the moment, so I'm sure we'll catch that. We'll try and go to a proper panto too with Grandma, probably something cheap and cheerful, it's always good to support the amateur dramatic groups or smaller theatre companies.
