Oh When The Saints!

ST JOHNSTONE FC AND PERTH THEATRE TEAM UP TO CREATE NEW SHOW

Two Perth institutions, St. Johnstone FC and Perth Theatre are teaming up to create a new show about the club and the role it plays in the city.

This exciting new project will see key parts of the club's history acted out on stage in a future production.

Supporters will be at the heart of the story, so fans are being asked to share their experiences, memories and stories of the club.

From Ando’s opening goal to Macca’s clincher at Celtic Park – Perth Theatre wants to know what it was it like to be part of a crowd of die-hard fans when Saints won the Scottish Cup? Or how did it feel not to be part of a crowd when Rooney sealed the deal in 2021?

Fans can tell stories from long ago or last season, or contribute what St. Johnstone means to them personally – is it a favourite manager, player, tea lady or other connection?

How to play your part

If you are interested in having your say or being involved we are hosting little taster session workshops which will help us develop the show and give you an idea of what being in the show might be like.
