Welcome to Leitheatre
DIRECTOR WANTED!
We are looking for an enthusiastic, experienced director to work with us on our May 2025 production. We haven't decided a play yet and we're happy to talk to prospective directors about options.
We've been staging productions for over 75 years and our aim is always to demonstrate that the only difference between a professional show and a Leitheatre show is that the professionals get paid for it!
If this sounds up your street or if you'd like to chat about the opportunity, please eamil us at info@leitheatre.com
Leitheatre is an amateur theatre group based in Edinburgh. We usually produce three full length productions per year, including one in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. We also take part in the Scottish Community Drama Association (SCDA) One Act Play Festival. Our productions take place in the Church Hill Theatre, the Studio Theatre and Inverleith St Serf's Church Centre. We also produce a Burns Show in January to celebrate the birth of Scotland's Bard, Robert Burns. This show is performed for other organisations such as Golf Clubs, Care Homes and other social clubs. If you are interested in booking the Burns show, please get in touch by emailing info@leitheatre.com.
On the Our History page, you will read how our roots are in Leith but we perform in venues and theatres all over Edinburgh. We are not connected to Leith Theatre, in Ferry Road. You can find information about that organisation here Leith Theatre Trust .
