A theatre company has received nearly £58,000 in funding to help young people gain work experience.

Tron Theatre Ltd, based in Glasgow, has received £57,871 in Young Start funding from The National Lottery Community Fund.

The company will use this funding to facilitate a nine-month work programme, focused on the development of transferrable skills.

This will include lighting design, set building, marketing, and box office proficiency.

Tron Theatre Ltd will also use the funding to run a second instalment of its Our Show Your Show programme, giving young people an opportunity to watch and critique performances.

The funding was provided from the Young Start programme which is supported by the Dormant Assets Scheme and delivered by The National Lottery Community Fund, with priorities set by the Scottish Government.
