Sports Day
It's school sports day. Teachers, parents, families and pupils gather on the school playing field to witness the annual summer spectacle. Skint knees, grass stains and forgotten gutties. A day of winners and losers. A day that will burn bright in the memory of the young and the not so young. A revue show featuring great new songs alongside funny and moving sketches inspired by Glasgow and its people.
This production will be presented by a cast of non-professional performers drawn from all areas of the city and accompanied by a live band.
