Theatre Royal’s Rising Stars Youth Theatre

To everyone sitting SATs, GCSEs, A-Levels, exams, assessments, or tests over the coming weeks — good luck! ✨

Remember: exams do not define who you are, your worth, your kindness, your talents, or the incredible future ahead of you. A grade is only one small part of your story, not the whole book.

Your dreams are still valid, your potential is still limitless, and your star will still shine brightly no matter what happens on a results sheet. 🌟

All anyone can ask is that you do your best, take a deep breath, and be proud of the effort you’ve put in. That alone is something worth celebrating.

Believe in yourself — you are capable of amazing things. 💜

🌟 Tonight we celebrate one of our own: Christian Hogan

🎭 Christian first joined us as Prince Charming in 2014. He was 12 at the time… went on to star in many of our productions when we were known as “Second Star Youth Theatre”, and now look at him! Now an adult and starring as D’Artagnan in The Three Musketeers at Workington Theatre Royal!

✨ Christian is a perfect example of what can happen if you keep pursuing those dreams. He has always been a fantastic actor, but his performance as D’Artagnan is something else entirely. If you can make it tomorrow night for the final performance we highly recommend it!

🌟 Break a leg to Christian and the whole cast!

🎭 “The truth behind the mask”

🧪 Well done to our youth cast of 16 this weekend as they took on one of the best known and darkest stories of the 19th century! Their production of ‘The Strange Case of Jekyll and Hyde’ challenged them in many ways as actors, and hopefully challenged the audience too!

🧬 Did you come and watch? What did you think?

🌒🕯️ Rising Stars Presents: A Halloween Transformation 🕯️🌒
This Halloween, the laboratory glows faintly and London’s fog curls around our stage… 🌫️

Our Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde cast knows that evil isn’t born in monsters — it’s mixed, measured, and released. ⚗️
Behind every courteous smile waits a shadow, whispering, “Set me free…” 🖤

The stage is our laboratory, the script our experiment — and tonight, every soul must face what _'Hydes'_ beneath the skin. 🎩💀

Because at Rising Stars, we don’t just perform transformation… we become it. 🌘
