Liz judging Rock Challenge

One of our founders and directors, Liz Milne, was thrilled to be chosen to be a judge for this year's Rock Challenge at the AECC.

Rock Challenge is a nationwide unique and exciting opportunity for schools to take part in a dance, drama and design spectacular where young people are the stars. The judges are drawn from the entertainment, education and performing arts industries.

Liz was impressed by the standard of work and congratulates all the teams that took part in this year's event.

Phoenix award winners at Paris convention

Phoenix Theatre and Phoenix Youth award winners in Paris

Liz Milne and Clare Haggart are proud to have helped twelve young performers, picked from the North East, to make their mark to great acclaim at a convention in Paris.

The group joined nearly 500 other hopefuls scouted from across the UK to make this prestigious event the experience of a lifetime. They sang, danced, acted and modelled in front of a glittering array of agents, casting directors and industry professionals, including Zoe Tyler, from the BBC's 'Any Dream Will Do' and 'How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria' and well-known presenter and broadcaster, Anna Richardson.

All twelve of the performers from the North-East were chosen to appear in the spectacular Talent Showcase at the culmination of the event, with Phoenix's Jonnie Milne and Daniel Hall getting to the finals as soloists and Iona Reid being chosen as one of the top young models.

Congratulations to all of these talented young performers for representing the North-East of Scotland so outstandingly!

Phoenix Youth Theatre were in attendance as Promote YT held its second Youth Theatre Forum meeting at the Royal Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh.

Over the past 9 years, Phoenix Youth Theatre has rapidly become one of the most renowned youth theatre companies in Scotland and Jennie Milne was delighted to represent the company in the capital.

Amber's musical success

Phoenix Youth Theatre is delighted to congratulate Amber Majeed for winning the 'Echt Factor'! Amber's prize was the chance to record some music in a professional recording studio.

After learning that a close family friend had to cope with dialysis treatment three times a week, she decided to make a CD to help raise funds for Kidney Research UK.

Amber's efforts have so far raised over £700 and we couldn't be prouder of her!
