At Sleeping Star Productions we believe every child is a Sleeping Star waiting to be woken. We aim to be an outstanding children’s amateur theatre group encouraging children to follow their passion for theatre and performance. We encourage all our children to follow their passions whether that be as part of our cast or even our crew.
Sleeping Star Productions in a non-for-profit organisation - we run solely on the work of our volunteers as well as our parents who all play a huge part in helping us operate. However there is always a cost for putting on a production. Our fees are kept as low as possible. All children between the ages of 9-14 years interested in participating in Sleeping Star for 2026 should attend our Information Night to book an audition. At Sleeping Star we are all-inclusive so we hold auditions not to find any exceptional talent but to give the children a total theatre experience right from the start.
