Welcome to Rising Star Studios
Formerly Weldon Theatre School (est. 2014), we are proud to introduce our exciting new chapter as Rising Star Studios, a name that reflects who we are, what we stand for, and where we are heading.
​
For over a decade, our focus has remained the same: nurturing exceptional musical theatre and performance talent in young people across Northamptonshire. As our students have grown, so have we, and our new name captures the heart of our mission.
​
Because at Rising Star Studios, we believe every performer has the potential to shine.
Why Rising Star Studios?
Our Story
Our students are the rising stars of tomorrow. From their very first class to standing centre stage under the lights, we are dedicated to guiding each performer on their journey with expert training, professional standards, and the motivation and encouragement they may require.
​
Over the last 12 years, our company has gone from strength to strength. What began as a passionate theatre school has evolved into a thriving performance community featuring:
-
Two large-scale production teams performing multiple times throughout the year
-
Musical Theatre classes for aspiring performers
-
High-level technical and performance training
-
A growing reputation for excellence
​
With waiting lists across several classes and exciting expansion plans already underway, this is just the beginning of our next chapter.
Our Vision
To provide the highest quality training for aspiring performers in Northamptonshire.
​
We are committed to delivering professional standard productions, inspiring classes, and a supportive environment where young people can develop confidence, discipline, creativity, and lifelong friendships.
A Track Record of Excellence
We are incredibly proud of our alumni, many of whom are now training at leading conservatoires and prestigious stage schools. Their success reflects the outstanding training, dedication, and production standards that define Rising Star Studios.
​
Our rebrand marks growth, not change in values. The passion, professionalism, and family spirit that built Weldon Theatre School remain at the heart of everything we do. We are incredibly proud of what our members achieve. Visit our 'Alumni' page for more information about where they are now!
