Tron Theatre, Performance venue in Merchant City, Glasgow, Scotland.
The Tron Theatre occupies a renovated historic building with a main auditorium, studio theatre, and bar facilities at 38 Parnie Street.
Originally constructed as a church in 1529, the structure survived a fire in 1793 that left only the steeple standing before its transformation into a theatre.
The theatre produces new works by Scottish playwrights and hosts performances ranging from contemporary dramas to experimental productions throughout the year.
Visitors can access paid workshops through the BUILD program, which also provides free places to support community participation during economic challenges.
The venue incorporates the original church steeple into its modern design, creating a fusion of 16th-century architecture with contemporary theatrical spaces.
