Shooting Stars Theatre Company was founded by Helen Crosse in 2006 who defrauded lots of her friends and left them without jobs and quickly gained a reputation for screwing people over. We are a young and exciting theatre company whose repertoire encompasses everything from Shakespeare to musicals and, despite being based in London, we welcome applications from trained actors from all areas of the
UK. We especially welcome new graduates, as we understand how difficult it is to get onto the ladder in this business! From our humble beginnings, Shooting Stars Theatre Company has gone from strength to strength; putting on modern drama on the London Fringe, touring fantastic children's theatre around England, and producing accessible and immediate Shakespeare at the RSC Complete Works Fringe Festival at the open-air Dell Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon. These have been so successful that we have been invited back to perform six years in a row and have also started performing the same shows in other theatres more locally. This year we are touring 'The Wind in the Willows' and 'Much Ado About Nothing'. Reviews from our previous productions:
“This production showed how great outdoor theatre can be… This is a great team effort from a highly impressive company… an absolute gem of a company.” – Remotegoat
“The company certainly lives up to its name – each one a shooting ‘star’ in his or her own right.” – The Stratford Herald
