FAQ

What shows do you do? What are auditions like? Am I good enough? What are rehearsals like?

These questions come up alot a lot along with many others, so read on to find out the answers to everything you ever wanted to ask about TSP and how we work...

What sorts of shows do you do?

Since opening in 2009 we have focused mainly on Revue show however now we are staging book shows.

We intend to do shows that include everyone in our cast and give each area of theatre a chance to shine.

Our casting follows the similar style that can be seen in the west end or in a touring company, the ensemble supporting the principals so every cast member has loads to do and is treated like a principal.

How do you choose your shows?

Ideally we think about what we think our audience wants to see, the challenges the show presents, and what excites our creative team.

We listen to our cast and love hearing suggestions from them about possible shows, we usually narrow the choices down then create a poll and the winning musical is staged.

What are your rehearsals like?

Really hard work! but fun. The choreography is broken down to different levels as we understand not everyone is a fantatsic dancer. Music rehearsals require tremendous concentration to stay focused on complex part singing. Rehearsals are fast-paced and we expect you to spend time away from rehearsals practising songs and dances and we help with this by providing mp3s of vocal lines and videos of the choreography.

I'm only interested in principal roles. Will that affect my chances?

Definitely not. We know there are a lot of opportunities to perform in shows in Aberdeen and the surrounding areas and we want people to be happy working on our shows so if you don't want to be considered for the ensemble, just say and we won't hold it against you.

We'd encourage you to really consider it though however, in terms of developing your dancing or harmony singing there's no better place than the ensemble.
