Background
It is the longest-established touring theatre company in Scotland. The company changed its name from Citizens' Theatre for Youth in the 1970s and became TAG, which stood for Theatre About Glasgow. Recent times have seen a change in funding for the company and the introduction of a Scotland-wide remit. As a consequence the company now simply uses the initials "TAG".
Artistic directors
TAG's original artistic director was Christine Redington, who was at the helm for three years until 1971. Since then a number of high-profile directors have worked for the company, including Ian Wooldridge (1978–84),
TAG and the Citizens' Theatre
In 2006 TAG moved back into the Citizens Theatre building in the Gorbals area of Glasgow. TAG was fully reintegrated with the Citizens Theatre in 2007 as a member of the Citizens' Theatre Ltd. In 2007, TAG Acting Company celebrated its 40th anniversary.
