Rising Stars Youth Theatre exists for one reason --> to give kids and teens a place where they are taken seriously, challenged artistically, and allowed to shine — without being overshadowed by adults.
 

We are proudly the only youth theatre organization in the area exclusively dedicated to working with children and teens.

No adult actors.
No compromises.
Just young performers learning, growing, and rising together.

 

PROFESSIONAL YOUTH THEATRE TRAINING

Our Summer Theatre Intensives (STIs) and Fall & Spring Workshops are full-commitment, high-impact programs focused on professional-level training in:

• Acting

• Dancing

• Singing

• Character development

• Ensemble collaboration

• Live stage performance

These programs are selective, immersive, and designed for young performers who are ready to show up, grow fast, and shine.
 

​

OUR DIVISIONS
​

We offer multiple divisions to ensure every performer is challenged at the right level:

• Junior Division (Grades 2–8)

• Teen Division (Grades 9–12)

• Mixed Division (Grades 2–12)
   

​

✨ THESE ARE NOT CASUAL WORKSHOPS
 

They are rigorous, artistically stimulating theatre intensives that deliver:

• Real skill-building

• Real collaboration

• Real performance experience

The kind students talk about long after the curtain falls.

 

WHO OUR PROGRAMS ARE FOR
​

Rising Stars is not for everyone — it's for young performers who are ready to commit, grow, and shine.

If that's your child, we want to meet them.
 

Programs are open to performers ages 8–18 (unless otherwise noted) and welcome:

• Students already working professionally

• Performers active in school or community theatre

• Young artists stepping on stage for the very first time

What they all have in common? They want more.

WHAT MAKES RISING STARS DIFFERENT
​

Built on over 30 years of world-class training, Rising Stars Youth Theatre programs are rigorous, artistically alive, and deeply rewarding. The work is serious. The growth is real. And the experience is intensely fun.

At Rising Stars Youth Theatre, we believe theatre opens the door to imagination, memory, confidence, collaboration, and transformation — both onstage and off.

OUR TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

​

🎯 Our programs are designed to:

• Inspire students to experience theatre from behind the scenes to center stage

• Teach foundational techniques for building authentic characters in solo and ensemble work

• Develop confidence, communication skills, and stage presence in front of a live audience
