Harlequin Productions Joins Forces with AAPA to create Harlequin Student Productions

Aberdeen Academy of Performing Arts are delighted to be joining forces with Harlequin Productions to offer young people between the ages of 17 years old (6th year at school) and 23 years old the chance to take part in a new Musical Theatre company : ' Harlequin Student Productions'.

This new company will aim to follow in the footsteps of Harlequin Production's current adult theatre company by bringing fresh, new and different musical theatre shows to the stage. Harlequin Productions are known for creating gritty theatre which favours nuanced, honest, simple and effective entertainment.

Company members alongside rehearsing for their show or when not rehearsing for a show will be able to continue their Musical theatre studies by taking part in Advanced Level Trinity College exam and work towards the SQA Accredited NPA Musical Theatre course through Harlequin's link with Aberdeen Academy of Performing Arts.
