Alpha Shows

Every Alpha Show is a different piece of the puzzle. 🧩🎭

Each year, students experience a new story, a new perspective and new ideas to explore, from The Little Mermaid and Aladdin to King Arthur, Hercules, Rapunzel and beyond.

Over time, those different learnings build on one another to create what Ben calls the Alpha Shows Universe, helping students explore their emotions, choices, resilience and the way they see themselves and the world around them. ✨

That’s why many schools welcome Alpha Shows back year after year.

And you never know which story, character or message might be the one that has an impact. 🧡

Mother Gothel’s entrance into Rapunzel’s tower certainly gathers quite the enthusiastic response… 👀😉

At Alpha Shows, we don’t just have brilliantly scripted shows written by our incredible creative team, Ben Jackson & Katja Glieson , we also LOVE to play, too! 🎭✨

Audience engagement and interaction are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED, which means every show becomes completely unique.

And that’s exactly what we believe makes Alpha Shows so special! 🧡

Our interactions with the audience are one of the biggest highlights of what we do. Students are encouraged to express themselves, whether that’s through laughing, cheering, shouting… or, in this case, BOOING!!! 😂👏

Because live theatre isn’t just about sitting and watching.

It’s about being part of the story. ✨

Creating a safe space where students can express themselves, react freely and get involved is what makes Alpha Shows truly one of a kind, and makes us a pretty great option for your school, too! 😉🎭

What does an Alpha Show actually bring to the classroom? 🎭✨

We asked teachers at Naracoorte Primary School how Rapunzel connects with the work they’re already doing with their students, from supporting positive emotional expression and wellbeing, to encouraging children to be themselves, build confidence and recognise their own potential. 🦋

And we’re very excited to say this isn’t goodbye… Naracoorte Primary School has already booked their next Alpha Show! 🥹

We’ll see you in 2027 for Aladdin 🧞‍♂️✨
