Stellar Quines Theatre Company

Stellar Quines is a women's Scottish theatre company and charity based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Established in 1993, the company has worked predominantly within Scotland but has also toured shows nationally and internationally. Stellar Quines was under the artistic direction of Muriel Romanes from 1996–2016, when Jemima Levick took over.

The name Stellar Quines is a combination of two old Scots words: Stellar, meaning 'starry', and Quines, meaning 'women'. It was suggested by Gerda Stevenson, who established the company in 1993 to "address the lack of opportunities for women in theatre."
