Theatre performances, live music, comedy, cinema screenings and more are on offer at the Giffnock theatre, which is part of East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure. Children's live theatre returns with Artie's Singing Kettle Scotland on 29 January, followed by interactive musical show for all the family, You Choose, on 5 February. Kids' comedian James Campbell brings a stand-up show for children to the stage on 27 March.
Singing Kettle star Artie Trezise said: “It's a great relief to me that theatres are able to open up fully now and I'm looking forward to playing to a full house at Eastwood Theatre on Saturday 29th of January. The show is called 'Scotland" and it's a celebration of Rabbie Burns' birthday but it'll be a whole lot more than that. A celebration of getting a bit closer to normality. Packed full of Scottish songs for children but don't forget to bring Granny too. I promise not to "Shove her aff the Bus'!”
BAFTA award-winning Scot Squad star Jack Docherty brings his critically acclaimed play Nothing But to Eastwood Park Theatre on 12 March, following rave reviews and a sell-out run at Edinburgh Festival Fringe last year. Jack said: “Sadly, I’ve never had the opportunity to go to Giffnock so I can’t wait to visit, and I can’t wait to play the Eastwood Theatre with Nothing But. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done (even though I say so myself!).”
Blackeyed Theatre presents The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, adapted for the stage by Nick Lane, on 23 and 24 February.
A night of toe-tapping country classics is presented on 26 January with the Legends of American Country, while mini swing band Down for the Count Swing Orchestra brings the sounds of the swing era back to life on 26 March. Award-winning Elio Pace and his band bring The Billy Joel Albums show on 16 March. The theatre will also welcome highly acclaimed tribute acts Sound of Springsteen on 14 April and Just Beatles on 14 May.
East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure's series of traditional Scottish music concerts, Back to Beò, continues with funky folk band Heisk and one of the most exciting names at the forefront of Scottish folk music, Man of the Minch, on 5 March. Ross Ainslie and Ali Hutton, two of Scotland’s most prominent musicians, bring new, modern Scottish folk music at its mightiest to the stage on 18 March.
Anthony McReavy from East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure, said: “We can't wait to welcome audiences to the theatre in 2022. Our programme at Eastwood Park Theatre is packed with fantastic shows, performances and top talent over the coming months. We also have lots of live music lined up, top kids' shows and screenings that you won't want to miss.”
Cinema showings of NT Live: Leopoldstadt, Romeo and Juliet, La Traviata and Swan Lake, are also scheduled for the big screen.
