Every child appears on stage at some point in their first year.
There are also Year group plays, a leavers' performance and the main school production, alternately a play and a musical. Cyrano de Bergerac , a recent play, went on to perform to full houses at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This year's musical was Into the Woods by Sondheim and Lapine, a recent West End hit. In treading the boards at Glenalmond, pupils are following a dramatic tradition which has produced a number of theatrical stars, among them Robbie Coltrane, Crispin Bonham Carter and Train Spotting producer Andrew Macdonald.
