Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates David Wallace is a Scottish actor and theatre director. He trained in Drama at Edinburgh’s Queen Margaret University College. He founded the Paisley-based PACE Theatre Company in 1988.[1][2][3]

Wallace and PACE Theatre Company started Paisley's annual Christmas pantomime, which has been running since PACE was founded.[4] In the pantomimes, Wallace performs as a dame in a comedy double act with Alan Orr.[2][1] As an acting coach with PACE, Wallace has been credited with launching the careers of James McAvoy and Paolo Nutini.[5] In November 2008, Wallace was awarded a Fellowship by the University of the West of Scotland.[6] In September 2017, Wallace was dismissed from PACE Theatre Company after an investigation into the company's finances.[5][7][8] The chairman for PACE has said that the investigation was to insure that company would continue.[9]

Wallace was a member of the Paisley 2021 executive bid team, the campaign for Paisley to be awarded UK City of Culture in 2021.[10][11][12] In 2014, he co-founded Paisley Community Trust.[13]
