Phoenix wouldn't be the same without Aberdeen Arts Centre and the venue has meant so much to us and our members over the past 35 years.

We'd love as many people as possible to take part in their latest project.

They're looking for head-and-shoulders photos from anyone whose life has been impacted by performing or volunteering at Aberdeen Arts Centre. These don't have to be professional photos - just something taken on your phone would work!

Submit your photo by 6 April here 👉 https://www.dropbox.com/request/wQvKXEMLTsacESwRmNdp

Today, on WORLD THEATRE DAY, we need your help!

We want to gather photos of as many people that have been involved in Aberdeen Arts Centre over the years as possible for an upcoming project.

We'd love to get head-and-shoulders photos from current and former... actors, musicians, performers, staff, volunteers, backstage crew, facilitators, local performing group teachers and staff - anyone at all, past or present, that has had their life impacted by performing and holding events at Aberdeen Arts Centre.

These don't have to be professional photos - just something taken on your phone would be perfect!

🚨 NEW SHOW ON SALE! 🚨

In the Kingdom of Arendelle, the young Princesses Elsa and Anna share a close and loving bond until Elsa's uncontrollable ice magic accidentally injures Anna. To protect her, their parents isolate the sisters and hide Elsa's powers from the world.

Years later, Elsa is crowned Queen. During the festivities, Anna meets the dashing Prince Hans, falls in love at first sight and asks Elsa's blessing for their marriage. The confrontation causes Elsa to lose control, trapping the Kingdom in an eternal winter.

Afraid of her own powers, Elsa flees to the isolation of the North mountain. With the help of Kristoff and his reindeer sidekick, Sven, Anna sets off to find her sister. On their journey through the harsh winter conditions, they encounter the magical snowman, Olaf, and together they track Elsa to her glistening ice palace.

Still unable to control her powers, Elsa again strikes Anna, this time with a fatal icy shard to her heart. Kristoff takes Anna to the mystical Hidden Mountain Folk, who reveal that only 'an act of true love' can save Anna from turning into solid ice.

In a desperate dash back to Arendelle, will Kristoff, Sven and Olaf find the 'act of true love' that will save Anna from becoming frozen forever?

Don't let the storm rage on, 'Let It Go' and book now to find out with Phoenix Theatre & Phoenix Youth Theatre!

📚💛 Happy World Book Day from Phoenix Theatre & Phoenix Youth Theatre! 💛📚

There’s something magic about seeing a story you love leap off the page and onto the stage - and we’ve been lucky to bring plenty of literary favourites to life, from Oliver! and Beauty and the Beast to Jekyll & Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Scrooge, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and more.

Omigod you guys! 💅

Can you believe it’s 10 years this week since Phoenix Theatre staged the North East Premiere of Legally Blonde and got His Majesty’s Theatre totally whipped into shape? ✨👠

It’s still one of our all-time faves.

Behind every Phoenix show is a mountain of boxes, rails and costume magic. Not glamorous… but surprisingly good cardio! 🧵✨📦

🎲 We’ve rolled the dice… and it’s come up GUYS & DOLLS! 🎭

After our rip-roaring run of Shrek The Musical, Phoenix Theatre is heading back to Aberdeen Arts Centre this November with what many consider the greatest musical ever written.

And here’s a little Phoenix history: our adult company last performed Guys & Dolls all the way back in 1997 - so this one’s been a long time coming. The cast are already counting down the days and can’t wait to get started after the summer!

With iconic numbers like “Luck Be a Lady Tonight” and the show-stopping “Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat”, we’re promising a night of pure Broadway joy 🎶🍾

The North-East might have spent the past week under a blanket of snow ❄️ but Phoenix Youth’s Frozen isn’t heading to Aberdeen Arts Centre for a few months yet…

So, until then - here’s something to warm your heart 💚✨
Take a look back at the photos from our magical production of Shrek The Musical! Phoenix Theatre’s fairytale chaos lit up the Arts Centre stage back in November, and it’s already gone down as one of our most popular shows ever.

Thank you to every member of the extended Phoenix Family for your support throughout 2025! It’s been another busy but brilliant year as we brought Annie and Shrek to life - and we couldn’t have done it without our cast, crew, families, volunteers, and every single audience member.

See you in the New Year! 💛🎭
