About Rising Stars Productions
Founded in 2012, Rising Stars Productions is a performing arts initiative designed to bring arts education and enrichment to the communities of Middlesex and Essex counties and the North Shore. We seek to train and empower young performers through musical theater camps, master classes, and workshops that focus on a variety of music- and theater-related topics. We believe that music making is a lifelong pursuit which not only fosters personal well-being, but also benefits the community as a whole.

At Rising Stars Productions, we believe that every student can grow and succeed if given the chance. We hire only the most dedicated arts educators to teach in our programs, and keep our class and camp sizes small so that each student can receive the one-on-one attention he or she needs. We believe that every child has something to offer. When your child participates in a Rising Stars program, he or she is not simply a number in a huge cast; instead, he or she is a key player and will be treated as such.

We also believe strongly that the arts are an essential part of community life. Our staff and students have participated in local outreach events such as the Relay for Life, and even helped one camper complete her Girl Scout Silver Award project.

We trust that your experiences in our programs will be fun, educational, and rewarding. Most of all, we trust that they will be as unique as the students who participate in them.
