PASSIONATE ABOUT INSPIRING OTHERS
Rising Stars Youth Theatre Co. is Sussex County's only nonprofit youth theatre dedicated exclusively to young performers ages 7-18.
Broadway World nominated and a Top 3 Best of Sussex County finalist for Live Theatre - 4 years running, we have been transforming young talent into confident performers since 2017.
In our 10th year of programming, we have served 600+ students across the tri-state area since launching our first workshop in March 2017 ---through professional-quality musical theatre productions, summer intensives, and year-round programming.
Where everyone's a star — on our stage and beyond.




Rising Stars Youth Theatre Co. is proud to be the only youth theatre organization in the area exclusively dedicated to working with children.
We do not mix adult actors with our young performers!

Our Vision:
At Rising Stars, we believe in the power of theater to transform lives. We envision a world where every young person is given the chance to shine brightly and discover their unique potential. Through the magic of the performing arts, we aim to inspire, educate, and create unforgettable experiences that resonate far beyond the stage.

Since our inception in 2017, we've embarked on a remarkable journey. Our dedicated team of educators, professionals, and volunteers has worked tirelessly to provide a safe and inclusive space for young individuals to explore their passions. We've witnessed countless young performers discover their voices, develop confidence, and build friendships that last a lifetime.
What We Offer:
Rising Stars offers performing intensives, for full-scale productions that captivate audiences of all ages.

-
MIXED DIVISION (grades 2-12)
We embrace diversity and encourage creativity, ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, feels welcome and valued.
