THE National Theatre of Scotland has launched a new campaign to raise up to £1.9 million towards the cost of the company’s new permanent headquarters.
The new building, to be named Rockvilla in recognition of the heritage of the canal-side area surrounding Speirs Wharf in Glasgow, will see work begin this month with a completion date of summer 2016.
The total estimated project cost for the new building is £6.475 million with £4.579million already secured.
Amongst those launching the campaign were some of Scotland’s best known actors who have worked with the National Theatre, including Blythe Duff, Ian McDiarmid, Greg Hemphill, Julie Wilson Nimmo and Lorraine McIntosh.
The plans for the new building, designed by Hoskins Architects, were revealed earlier this year and will provide 3700 sq. metres of space over two levels, with three rehearsal rooms, creative development spaces, a learning and community suite, a working wardrobe facility, production workshop, meeting room facilities and social areas.
