Our Mission

At Rising Stars, our foremost commitment is to provide a holistic and enriching theatrical and musical education to every student. Through our distinctive "quadruple threat method"—focusing on singing, acting, dancing, and musicianship—students are equipped with the versatile skill set essential to meet any challenge encountered in the audition room.

A decade ago, Rising Stars took its initial steps as a pre-professional program, dedicated to offering classes in audition preparation, acting, and advanced vocal performance. Witnessing remarkable growth, we expanded our curriculum to incorporate musicianship classes tailored for singers, introduced an integrated dance program, and culminated in the establishment of our esteemed Company program.

Our Company program stands as an audition-exclusive high school degree initiative, mirroring the comprehensive structure of a Musical Theatre Conservatory Program. Students benefit from discounted classes, complimentary masterclasses, and personalized career guidance, nurturing their artistic growth and aspirations.

Beyond our esteemed Company program, Rising Stars offers an array of production classes, workshops, and dance sessions, earning accolades as one of Fairfield County's premier college-bound programs for the arts. Our students' accomplishments speak volumes, as they secure placements in the nation's most esteemed college and conservatory programs.

Our alumni have graced or currently occupy esteemed positions in renowned institutions such as NYU Tisch, Eastman School of Music, Boston Conservatory, Carnegie Mellon, Shenandoah Conservatory, Hartt School of Music, Oberlin Conservatory, Marymount Manhattan College, the University of the Arts, and many more prestigious institutions.

At Rising Stars Performing Arts, we take immense pride in nurturing the artistic potential of our students, guiding them towards illustrious futures in the performing arts. Join us on this transformative journey, where creativity meets excellence and dreams take flight.
