Growing up brings lots of dilemmas and decisions have to be made. Spend all of your time working, and suffering stress, or spend all of your time partying and getting nowhere ? Will Little Red Riding Hood take the right path ?

BRAEVIEW ACADEMY, Dundee
"Gangsters Through The Ages"

In every city in the world, people reach out for kinship and a sense of belonging. Who wouldn't ? But what happens when friendship, love and trust turn to blood, lust and betrayal ? Will there ever be a time when we can look beyond race, colour and creed to find a better, brighter world ? We believe there can.

"Look Beyond the Mask"

In today's culture, looks are an important factor in daily life but can be deceiving. In our performance we look beyond typical stereotypes and show people for who they really are. Out message in an old one: don't judge a book by its cover - look beyond the mask.

OLDMACHAR ACADEMY, Aberdeen
"Help us Stand"

Boys and girls come out to play
In their cradles they'll never stay.
Parents wish with all their hearts
That their children will play their part.
But as we grow and as we change
And life around us becomes so strange
It's now we need our parents' hand
To guide us through and help us stand.

PETERHEAD ACADEMY, Peterhead, Aberdeenshire

"Life Together"

War costs lives. The price is too high. Everyone pays. How long can we allow this tragedy to continue ?

TORRY ACADEMY, Aberdeen
"War ! What Is It Good For ?"

Every three minutes a child dies because of armed conflict across the world. With this in mind we have set our performance in 1940s London, during the Blitz. Through a lost child's eyes we see the effects and struggles of war, as we follow in her lonely search for her mother.

TURRIFF ACADEMY, Turriff, Aberdeenshire
"Enjoy Your Trip ?"

LSD is a hallucinatory drug, which is sold in tab form. These acid tabs often depict cartoon characters to symbolise fun and escape from reality. However, who knows what might happen if, like Vicky, you encounter the Pink Panther. Will her trip be soft and spaced out or sudden and sinister ?
