The Traverse is thrilled to be welcoming Class Act back to Traverse 1 in 2022.
- 2 years ago
This year’s stories have been created by students from five local secondary schools - Craigroyston
Community High School, Craigmount High School, Forrester High School, Broughton High School and
Royal High School – who have participated in the Traverse’s flagship education project, Class Act,
since October 2021.
Each script – be it play, poem, or song - will be brought to life by a team of professional theatre-
makers including directors, actors, filmmakers and musicians - some of whom were previously Class
Act participants themselves, including Greg McHugh (Gary: Tank Commander, Fresh Meat, The A
Word)!
Prepare yourself for a great night out at the theatre with a packed performance that features drama,
poetry, live music, comedy, film and animation. Covering a kaleidoscope of topics – from mental
health to current politics, warring superheroes to ghost stories, and everything in between – these
pieces are a frank, sometimes hilarious and always insightful reflection of the hopes and concerns of
Scotland’s young people.
