Small Town Boys Aberdeen Show

Shaper/Caper presents Small Town Boys - a brand new show exploring the escapism of queer nightlife during the 80’s & 90’s AIDS crisis through dance and spoken word.

A young man leaves his small hometown to find refuge in the bright lights and warm embrace of the big city; he discovers solace and joy in the city's LGBTQ+ scene, but soon finds himself navigating a terrifying unfolding health crisis, almost completely ignored by the government. 

Our cast of eight dancers will be taking over the floor of Cheerz in Aberdeen, with a soundtrack of everyone’s favourite 80’s & 90’s anthems, as well as original music. The dancers will also be joined by our Community Cast, a group of volunteer dancers bridging the gap between performers and spectators, bringing the joy and chaos of the nightlife scene to life.

Audience members will be invited to relive their own memories of the dance floor as the boundaries between stage and club are blurred, giving them a chance to boogie alongside our cast (or just take a backseat and watch, if they’d prefer!).

Some performances will be followed by a Q&A with either Waverley Care or Terrence Higgins Trust, giving audiences a chance to learn more about queer history and sexual health, and ask any questions they may have!

Small Town Boys is produced in association with Gardyne Theatre and Dundee Rep Theatre, in partnership with Terrence Higgins Trust, Waverley Care and Dundee and Angus College, and is generously supported by Creative Scotland’s Open Project Fund and Touring Fund.

Community Cast: Small Town Boys Aberdeen Rehearsal

Fancy joining the cast of an award winning show alongside incredible professional dancers? Well…you’re in luck! Join our Community Cast for our show ‘Small Town Boys’! Whoop.

No experience is needed and you’ll be provided with video links to help support you to rehearse the choreography from the show that you’ve learnt during these rehearsals. It’s a great opportunity to make some new pals and enjoy a blether and a boogie together!

Check out all the rehearsal dates below!


Shaper/Caper presents Small Town Boys - a brand new show exploring the escapism of queer nightlife during the 80’s & 90’s AIDS crisis through dance and spoken word.

A young man leaves his small hometown to find refuge in the bright lights and warm embrace of the big city; he discovers solace and joy in the city's LGBTQ+ scene, but soon finds himself navigating a terrifying unfolding health crisis, almost completely ignored by the government. 

Our cast of eight dancers will be taking over the floor of Cheerz nightclub in Aberdeen, with a soundtrack of everyone’s favourite 80’s & 90’s anthems, as well as original music. The dancers will also be joined by our Community Cast, a group of volunteer dancers bridging the gap between performers and spectators, bringing the joy and chaos of the nightlife scene to life.

Audience members will be invited to relive their own memories of the dance floor as the boundaries between stage and club are blurred, giving them a chance to boogie alongside our cast (or just take a backseat and watch, if they’d prefer!).

Some performances will be followed by a Q&A with either Waverley Care or Terrence Higgins Trust, giving audiences a chance to learn more about queer history and sexual health, and ask any questions they may have!

Small Town Boys is produced in association with Gardyne Theatre and Dundee Rep Theatre, in partnership with Terrence Higgins Trust, Waverley Care and Dundee and Angus College, and is generously supported by Creative Scotland’s Open Project Fund and Touring Fund.
