Federation of Scottish Theatre

Welcome to the Federation of Scottish Theatre

The Federation of Scottish Theatre exists to advance the interests of Scottish Theatre at home and abroad.

It is the membership organisation for the professional theatre sector in Scotland undertaking advocacy at a national level with government and funding bodies, co-ordinated initiatives and providing advice and services to members to secure the creative future of theatre in Scotland. The key objectives of the FST cover three key areas of activity:

  • Advocacy and Communication
  • Information
  • Training and Learning

The Federation of Scottish Theatre exists:

  • to be a powerful and effective voice for Scottish Theatre.
  • to offer support, advice and services to members
  • to promote, enable and sustain best artistic and administrative practice within Scottish Theatre

Representatives of member organisations decide on the policies and priorities of the FST at members' meetings held four times each year. The FST employs a Director to action policy and priority and this post is supported by task-focussed committees of members to drive forward strategic initiatives.
