Trust aims to enhance
Edinburgh’s cultural sector

MU AND A leading Scottish
theatre organisation have joined
forces to develop new talent and
support the wider creative and cultural
sector in Edinburgh and Scotland.
The University and the Festival City
Theatres Trust have signed an agreement
which will lead to a wide variety of artistic
and development opportunities for
students, staff and the wider community.
The partnership recognises the need

Theatres Trust, the King’s and Festival
Theatres and the Studio at Potterrow will
accommodate teaching sessions. For
example, QMU students could have the
chance to do voice work in large theatre
spaces, and to engage in community
