Aberdeen’s theatre scene is getting a fresh injection of energy from a new company hoping to carve out space for performers in their twenties.
‘A TO Z’ is an emerging theatre group created for those who’ve recently left student life but aren’t ready to leave the stage behind. Their debut production, Soho Cinders, will run at Aberdeen Arts Centre from 21–24 January 2026.
The group’s founders—Joel Simpson, Erin Tierney, and Alisdair Sneden—are already familiar names in Aberdeen’s theatre circuit, and they’re bringing that experience into a production that promises big ensemble numbers, modern storytelling, and a good dose of mischief.
Aberdeen’s newest theatre company, A TO Z Aberdeen, began with a shared excitement to create. Brought together by a love of performance and a drive to do things their own way, the group is now preparing for a bold and original debut.
A TO Z Aberdeen will debut in January with ‘Soho Cinders’, swapping glass slippers for mobile phones and fairy godmothers for wealthy business tycoons. They’re staging a rarely-performed musical that mixes classic fairytale elements with contemporary political satire.
The idea began with graduating students, but has drawn in much more. The 30-strong company includes people who’ve been away from the stage for years, complete newcomers, and industry-trained actors who’ve returned to Aberdeen for other work.
