“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?” Lewis Carroll
Airdrie’s theatre scene is exploding – there is no other word for it! From improv to intense dramas, we’ve seen a marked increase in the interest in live theatre, much of it owed to those driven performers, directors and producers pictured here. We channelled the Mad Hatter’s tea party at Hayloft Restaurant for our annual roundup of Airdrie’s theatre scene stealers. No tea cups were harmed in the making of this photo.
