One hundred years have passed since a group of students from Aberdeen decided to try out a variety show was a way to raise money for local charities. Little did those students know that what they were about to do would create a long-lasting tradition much loved by oor wee granite city, celebrating life in the North East of Scotland.
100 years (and 104 shows) have come and gone since the original production back in 1921, fittingly title 'Mock Trial'. Since then Student Show has always ran come rain or snow - even during the Blitz in World War Two. Even with a pandemic postponing our 2020 production of Freezin, we were eventually able to perform it in September 2021. Our local students have always managed to our on a show for the benefit of others.
Experiencing being a cast member for any Student Show production means going through intense rehearsals with complete strangers. Come show week you're part of a brand new family, a very special bond that is proudly shared by thousands of alumni.
