Reviewer - Theatre Scotland

Theatre Scotland is currently looking for reviewers across Scotland to assist in maximizing our website’s coverage.

Theatre Scotland is a theatre review site covering theatre made in and visiting Scotland. We were first established in September 2019, initially covering theatre in Edinburgh and since then we have expanded to covering the West and North of Scotland. We are hoping to continue expanding our site with the ongoing demand from theatres, companies and artists across the country.

About the role of Reviewer-


As a Theatre Scotland Reviewer, you would cover professional and amateur productions in your local area. This can be arranged through your own contacts or we will utilize our links to provide you reviewing opportunities. All reviews must be posted within 24 hours of seeing the production, this can either be posted by the reviewer directly to our site or via one of our editors. Every reviewer’s content will be promoted onto our social platforms and may be utilized by the reviewed production for marketing content.


This is a casual and unpaid role – due to the nature of the theatre industry we are not able to guarantee reviews weekly and our company currently operates as a non-profit organization. What we can offer is complimentary tickets, the opportunity to see a versatile range of theatre, and also a platform for your voice to be heard. We especially would love to hear from reviewers with an interest in participating in multimedia content.
