We’d like to extend our congratulations to our friends at the Press and Journal newspaper, who last month celebrated their incredible 275th anniversary.
To mark this milestone, a number of our youngsters from Phoenix Youth helped tell the story of their history for a special video shown at their anniversary charity gala.
The future looks bright for the paper under this new management - and that’s not a porkie!
We hope you’ll all welcome the newest member of the Phoenix Family - Grace Elizabeth Milne was born at 12:05am on Friday 22 December.
Gracie was the perfect Christmas present for Phoenix Theatre’s Jonnie and Claire, and a wonderful new granddaughter for our director Liz.
Liz was able to make it into the hospital and was over-the-moon to meet her tiny namesake.
Thank you to everyone for their messages of love and support, helping welcome Gracie to the world.
It was an honour for Phoenix Theatre to be asked back to take part in another celebration concert in Ballater - this time to mark Victoria Week in August 2023.
Our performers brought tons of energy with our longest-running and most popular set - Hairspray!
Thank you to the organisers for having us and to the crowds for the wonderful reception they gave our Nicest Kids in Town!

As people across the country marked the coronation of King Charles III, members of Phoenix Theatre & Phoenix Youth Theatre played their part by closing-out the wonderful Ballater & Crathie celebrations, on Sunday 8 May, 2023.
The sun was shining down on the heart of Royal Deeside, as our performers brought smiles to the faces of everyone in attendance, with our royalty-themed set, featuring songs from the musicals Shrek, Hamilton and Six.
Congratulations to all of them - especially our younger starts who stepped up to join our experienced Corporate Entertainment team!

Banchory Lodge received a visit from Fairy Princess Noelle and Fairy Prince Nicholas this week to the delight of all the children in attendance.
Phoenix Youth’s Nicole and Anya were on hand to guide the children through the enchanted forest walk, learn all about their favourite Christmas presents and lend a hand with all manner of crafts over hot chocolate and marshmallows.
If the smiles on the little faces were anything to go by, it kept the festive spirit going in the lead-up to Hogmanay.
There was no love lost this week, when tennis ace Jamie Murray hired Phoenix members to take sides in one of sport’s oldest and most celebrated rivalries - Scotland vs England.
When the Battle of the Brits came to Aberdeen’s P&J Arena in December 2022, Phoenix were served up to interact with the stars and public alike, as some historic greats from each side of the border. William Wallace, Queen Victoria, Robert the Bruce, Henry VIII and the rest of our winning set brought smiles to faces throughout the two days.
And we can forgive their obvious delight when Judy Murray came over to chat - even our directors admitted having a ‘fangirl’ moment.

Did you know that in early 2022, Phoenix Theatre presented our 50th show (not including those from Phoenix Youth)? That's 50 shows in 30 years.
To mark this achievement, Phoenix's Jonnie and Ian took it upon themselves to relive history in their own unique way - recreating moments from each and every musical or play, including most of the same costumes and some special guest stars from our current company.
So, step back in time and enjoy the history of Phoenix Theatre... so far!

All of us in the Phoenix Family would like to send our congratulations to a group of our young Phoenix Youth stars, who spent Friday evening meeting and greeting the guests at this year’s Aberdeen City Council Star Awards.
It was the first corporate entertainment experience for most of the group and they took it in their stride, like Alice falling down the rabbit hole. We’re certain it won’t be their last!
