Phoenix Theatre takes on the 'Mannequin Challenge'

Phoenix Theatre and Phoenix Youth Theatre would like to thank everyone who attended 'One Day More' and helped us raise money for the incredible Grampian Women's Aid.

While celebrating the show's success, the cast decided to put their own spin on the newest internet craze - the Mannequin Challenge. Or as we call it - freezing!

It's not all song and dance at Phoenix Theatre. Enjoy a trip backstage at ACT Aberdeen and see what happens when we stay really still!

The perfect day for a Phoenix wedding

The wedding of Phoenix Theatre actors Ian and Katie Baxter

We would like to thank everyone for their love and best wishes as Phoenix Theatre's own Katie and Ian staked their claim for the wedding of the century!

The happy couple have each been central parts of Phoenix Theatre for the majority of their lives and their future marriage has seemed to have been written in the stars. After spending their childhood playing together, they would go on to star as romantic leads in Phoenix Youth Theatre's 'My Fair Lady' in 2009 and then Phoenix Theatre's 'A Little Night Music', 'Hello Dolly' and 'Legally Blonde' - in 2013, 2014 and 2016 respectively.

It's been a long time coming and it was certainly worth it. The wedding was a simply stunning day from start to finish, with beautiful weather, beautiful people and no one could have wished for anything more.

We are sure that each and every member of Phoenix Theatre and Phoenix Youth Theatre will wish Katie and Ian a long and wonderful life together as Mr and Mrs Baxter.

Colette heads for Chelsea!

Phoenix Theatre choreographer Colette Murray

We are proud to announce that our wonderfully talented Choreographer and Dance Teacher, Colette Murray BA Hons, CBTS (RAD), FDI (ISTD), has been appointed to the management position of Programme Co-ordinator with The English National Ballet School, based in Chelsea, London.

Everyone at Phoenix Theatre and Phoenix Youth Theatre will be sad to see her go after six years of stunning choreography but we are all very proud of what she has achieved and know that she will go from strength to strength in her new position.  Aberdeen's loss is London's gain!

Good luck, Colette!

Three of Phoenix Youth Theatre's youngest upcoming stars were honoured to take part in the latest professional tour of 'An Inspector Calls' at His Majesty's Theatre, alongside TV's Liam Brennan.

The show ran from Tuesday 8 March to Saturday 12 March and is the third time Phoenix Youth Theatre have been asked to provide performers for the hit West End show. Several of the youngsters selected in the past have gone on to great things within Phoenix and we are sure that Nicole, Matthew and Oran will follow in their footsteps!

Phoenix Theatre is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year!

From 1991's Annie to 2016's Legally Blonde, the company has been honoured to entertain the audiences in the North East for a quarter of a century!

We have also seen a number of our young stars go on to great things on the West End and in TV land, such as Call the Midwife's Laura Main, who was our original Annie back in 1991!

The last 25 years have been a roller-coaster ride that would be difficult to put into words. But that's just what Phoenix Theatre's Jonnie Milne had to do, when he was interviewed by the Evening Express this week! Read the full story here.
