Our culture and values

Our Vision & Mission

"To ensure the performing arts are essential to our communities. "

From our base in Perth City and across Scotland at large, our mission is to use the performing arts to inspire, explore, connect, and educate, as sustainably as possible:

Inspire - as a source of entertainment, enlightenment, joy, and wellbeing;

Explore - forging into the new, inventing fresh approaches and developing different ways of working;

Connect - with our communities, meeting their needs, striving to include everyone;

Educate - by supporting learning and training across our whole range of activities for staff, participants, the sector, and future generations.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Perth Theatre and Concert Hall is working to ensure our organisation is fully representative of the communities we engage with locally and nationally. We believe in the transformative power of the performing arts and understand that embracing diversity of backgrounds, experiences, skills, cultures, and outlooks is critical to fulfilling our Vision. We start from a position of inclusion being fundamental to all our activities. We are committed to providing life-enhancing experiences for everyone, whatever their age, background, ethnicity, gender, geographical location, physical or mental ability, religion, sexual orientation, social conditions, work or employment status. Necessarily, our approach steps beyond the letter of the law to achieve this. Our commitment to IDEA will be central to all our policies and processes, from recruitment and operations to the delivery of our public engagement, performances, and events. Undertaking continual review and training, we will closely monitor, and be transparent about, our progress.
