Taggart star Colin McCredie is hosting free workshops to celebrate the recent success of St Johnstone Football Club.
The Perth-born actor and lifelong Saints fan will present taster acting sessions next month.
Participants will have the opportunity to take the stage in upcoming community show Oh When the Saints, which celebrates the Fair City club.
It comes after St Johnstone celebrated a cup double last season.
‘Best wee team in the country’
The play celebrates the club and will be performed by fans, for fans.
McCredie said he is happy to host the teaching workshop in his home city.
“I’m absolutely delighted to be back at Perth Theatre where my love affair with theatre began, working with local people to create a piece celebrating the city, the community and the mighty Perth Saints.,” he said.
“It will be a taster of how much fun being part of a show celebrating Perth, the community and the best wee team in the country will be.”
The sessions are part of a string of creative events by Horsecross Arts, celebrating St Johnstone.
Later in March there will be a session to write a new team song and at the end of the month podcasters Dogger Saints will seek out potential pundits.
Here’s all you need to know about the Saints-themed events coming to Perth Theatre.
