Founded in 2006, CentreStage - Ayrshire’s Arts Academy, operates with an ethos that anyone, regardless of age, background or experience can gain life changing social benefits through active participation in the arts. Find out more about how we do this.
After completing Scotland’s largest Community Led Asset Transfer, we are now operating from the site of the former Kilmarnock Academy. Everything at CentreStage is still built on that original ethos and supports delivery of our organisational vision and values.
Our vision is for a society where everyone can realise their potential and achieve their hopes and aspirations, regardless of their circumstances and background and our values of Hope, Inclusion and Aspiration, underpin all that we do. We create places where everyone is welcome, where everyone has their own story and everyone has the potential to grow.
You can also donate to our charity to help us to help others.
From performing arts classes to creative, social and recreational groups for all ages, there is always something to get involved in at CentreStage and our Café Bar is available every day to meet friends, grab a coffee, or to enjoy a meal.
Live performance is always at the heart of CentreStage. Productions from musical theatre, plays and drama to live music, dance and comedy are staged year-round in our flagship theatre. Our Auditorium and various rooms/spaces are
available to hire for external events and performances.
