What our members say

olivia_mem_testimonial
SCDA played a very active role in my life growing up in a West Highland village.
Undoubtedly it has shaped who I am today. People of all ages were in a room together being creative, making mistakes, laughing with each other and most of all supporting each other. It enabled me to make connections with people in the acting industry to develop my chosen career.

Drama has really helped me grow as a person.
It's helped me come out of my shell, gain confidence, and have a good laugh while doing it! It's just the best community to be part of.
Heather Stephenson
Student, Stirlingshire
I’ve been involved with SCDA for over 60 years.
Now in my 80s, my acting days are over, but I still volunteer in the SCDA library every week. It gives me the chance to get out, meet up with old friends and do something useful.
Douglas Currie
Retired Teacher, Edinburgh
