Honouring the people who make creativity thrive in our community
At Dundee Rep Theatre and Scottish Dance Theatre, we know that the arts don’t just happen on our stages — they happen in classrooms, community halls, dance studios, and living rooms across Dundee and Tayside.
Behind every inspiring project or performance is someone who gives their time, passion, and energy to make it possible and we want to say thank you.
