Tomorrow night we are incredibly excited to present Scratch That - an evening of new theatre, presented in partnership with Scottish Youth Theatre.

The night will map together the distinct and compelling stories of 4 young artists as they forge their own pathways into the industry. From being transported back to the 80s to probe feelings of power in a young group of Aberdeen’s Soccer Casuals, to an intimate and insightful disclosure of a body’s journey with Long COVID. From questioning your friendships and place within a community in an intense rural Scottish whodunnit, to the deconstruction of memory and the fourth wall in the design of a play, Scratch That’s artists explore each of their unique perspectives on belonging, relationships and identity.

🎹 NEW SHOW!

We are incredibly excited to welcome Argentinian piano virtuoso, Oscar Edelstein, for his first performance in Scotland, with his show BitΓ‘coras.

Oscar's β€œun-classic” piano will be accompanied by tapes and texts, with vocals and video made by Welsh multimedia artist Deborah Claire Procter.

As a composer, pianist and researcher Edelstein is well known for his blend of music that mixes the popular, classical and contemporary - making him original, hard to define, and often considered as leading the avant-garde from Latin America.

🚨 New Show on Sale! 🚨

Join us for a tale as old as time, as the Academy of Expressive Arts brings Disney's Beauty and the Beast to Aberdeen this June!

The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.
