I can safely say that without going here I wouldn’t be doing what I was doing today. So no matter what you decide to do later in life, the experiences you will have here at GAA will no doubt make it a second home in no time!

The Gorbals Vampire
Back in 1954, whispers echoed through the playgrounds of the Gorbals, weaving tales of a man with iron teeth who had allegedly abducted and consumed two local young boys. The community was gripped by fear and speculation until one fateful night in late September when hundreds of children, aged 4 to 14, gathered at the Southern Necropolis. Armed with whatever makeshift weapons they could find; they embarked on a daring mission to hunt down and vanquish the infamous Gorbals Vampire. Please note due to the language in this production there is an age guideline of 14+
Oz
Dorothy feels like she’s caught in a whirlwind half the time. Feet in the air, floating in the sky. She’s never had anywhere to call home and she’s ok with that. But when Dorothy finds herself in a strange new land, she begins to wonder if “home” wasn’t that far out of reach to begin with… A Scottish take on the classic tale, “Oz” is a story about friendship, resilience, and celebrating what makes us weird.
