Testimonials

  • Starcast has been my home away from home since 2018 and there is nothing that brings me the same joy as performing on stage in these incredible performance opportunities with some of my closest friends who I have met through Starcast.

    -Rosie - Starcast Student

  • Starcast is such a special thing to be a part of and my favourite place to be. It feels like a second family and home. It has given me so many chances to grow independently and in a group, surrounded by support and encouragement. I have learnt so many amazing skills to take on, to learn, grow and better myself as a performer.

    -Bea - Starcast Student

  • Freya loves every minute of being part of the extraordinary Starcast family. The fun, the challenge and opportunity is so well put together - we have seen her grow in confidence, ability and passion. Thank you to the brilliant team who pull all this together.
