My whole family need Cumberbsuld theatre for days out and very importantly the classes so vital to my grandchildrens' development. I feel confortable going on my own. Its a wonderful community hub for anyone, any age.
The theatre is vital to an already depletion of services in Cumbernauld. It provides an opportunity for families and friends to get together and at the same time support a local amenity which is sadly lacking in the town.
The arts are always the first to lose essential funding. The benefits to people in having a local theatre and cinema is so beneficial to the mental health and inclusiveness of so many people who can't travel further or afford to pay larger theatre prices in larger cities. The Lanternhouse offers easy access and modern facilities and supports so many local and professional groups, that it would be a travesty if it was unable to continue.
