Welcome to the Dogstar Theatre website.
Our latest production is a revival of Hamish Macdonald's The Captain's Collection, directed by Alison Peebles. The show opened in January 2012 at the Tron Theatre, Glasgow as part of the Celtic Connections Music Festival and is currently touring throughout Scotland and receiving a great response from our audiences. You can follow the tour's progress with pictures and contributions from the touring company on Dogstar Theatre's Facebook page. Tour dates and venues are on our News Page "...an engrossing treat...fascinating and provocative music theatre." THE SCOTSMAN Demand for The Tailor of Inverness continues. We recently returned from a wonderful residency at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst USA, where the very first US performances of the show received a standing ovation. Tours of Denmark, Sweden and Ireland |

are currently being set up for early 2013. The production has also been invited to Israel, Belarus and Iran.
We are currently developing a range of exciting new projects, including collaborations with partners in Sweden. Hamish MacDonald and actress Irene Allan spent a week in Devon in May 2011, where they spent a very productive week with Iranian artists Sasan Pirouz and Hassan Madjouni of Tehran-based Leev Theatre Company, developing initial ideas for another new international project.
You can find out about our numerous productions and the many talented individuals the company works with on our Productions, History and About Us pages. There is a page for promoters who are interested in presenting our work, gallery pages with a host of production pictures and a link to video clips of three of our productions and a simple way of joining our mailing list. We welcome any queries or comments, so please contact us.
In recent years, Dogstar has established itself as one of Scotland's leading touring theatre companies. We are based in the Scottish Highlands in Inverness, one of Europe’s fastest growing small cities. Our productions tour throughout Scotland and internationally. Our work springs directly from the Highlands’ defining characteristics: a stunningly beautiful and harsh natural landscape; a tumultuous and marginalised history; a shifting and changing population; a vibrant oral and musical tradition. Our productions endeavour to speak to our audiences in the Highlands and beyond using some of Scotland’s best actors, musicians, writers, directors and designers.
For us, theatre is a place for debate and celebration, for ideas and entertainment, for a few laughs, a few tears, a challenge to the mind and a memorable night out.
At its heart, its about communication between the actor and the audience. It can’t exist without you.
