Tron Theatre, Performance venue in Merchant City, Glasgow, Scotland.
The Tron Theatre occupies a listed building in Merchant City and houses a main auditorium, a studio space for smaller productions, and a bar. The building combines performance areas of different sizes to accommodate various types of shows.
The building was originally constructed as a church in 1529 and served as a religious center for centuries. A fire in 1793 destroyed most of the structure, leaving only the steeple, after which it was eventually transformed into a theatre.
The venue showcases works by Scottish playwrights and presents a range of productions, from contemporary plays to experimental work. It serves as a space where local artistic voices can develop and explore current ideas on stage.
The building is accessible and easy to navigate inside for most visitors. The venue offers various workshops and community programs, with some free places available to widen participation.
The building preserves the original church steeple from the 16th century within its modern theatre design. This blend of old and new creates an unusual setting where history and contemporary performance coexist in the same room.
