ABOUT STA

Starburst Theatre Academy (STA) is a brand new musical theatre academy in the centre of Aldershot. STA is launched off the back of our award-winning theatre company. Starburst stages pantomimes and musicals and has done since 1991. We now produce the Fleet Panto, showing to an audience of approximately 5000 patrons across 26 performances. The multi award winning company is committed and dedicated to perfect the art of true stage performance. This is what we do well; we are told every year by cast, family, customers and friends alike.

We aim to bottle our success and feed this to our students to develop and enhance their own abilities. We will develop local children in the art and performance of Musical Theatre skills via the medium of Dance, Singing and Acting over three terms of structured and well-thought-out lessons, teaching core concepts and techniques. The year will culminate in an end-of-year performance to family and friends.
