Ruby Stokes Ruby Stokes is 13 from a village near Reading (just South East of London) & starred as Annie in Annie both on the West End & Internationally on tour in Toronto. How did you first hear about Stagebox? My mum saw the audition for the first London team on Facebook. We knew nothing about it, and I was excited to audition for a company that works with professional children. My first two years with Stagebox have been absolutely awesome, with so many opportunities. The training has helped me to grow as a person, and has given me so much confidence. They have helped me to iron out any weaknesses, and further my strengths. Because of their exceptional training, I have gone on to do a West End Show (in the title role of Annie) and play the role of Annie on tour Internationally in Toronto. If you were giving advice to someone thinking of auditioning what would you say? I would say to them to go for it, because you won’t regret it. Stagebox is a place for you to really excel as a performer, and auditioning was one of the greatest decisions we’ve ever made. Ruby’s mum says: Superb Training And Great Encouragement... always thinking outside of the BOX Agatha Meehan Agatha Meehan is 11 from York and joined Stagebox as a newcomer.

Agatha says: I heard about Stagebox through a friend and my journey with Stagebox started at an Open Workshop two and a half years ago. At the end of the week I was invited to join the team & I begin training with them weekly & in the holidays. Six months later Stagebox put me forward for School of Rock in the West End & after several auditions I was offered the part of Summer Hathaway-it was a dream come true especially as I was only 9 years old! I played the part for 6 months before returning to training with Stagebox & got to perform with the Elite Team at the Rachel Tucker UK Tour concert. At the start of this year I was lucky enough to play Annie in the West End which was incredible. Other professional highlights have been the Kids of the West End Concert in Leicester Square at Christmas time & the UK premiere of A Little Princess. Stagebox have helped me so much with my performing & I am very grateful to them. I love the training & I have made so many great friends. I would tell anyone who wants to audition that they should relax & try to be natural-everyone is so friendly & will see the best in you.

That same month I landed the lead role of Summer Hathaway in School of Rock and I made my debut in the West End in March 2018 .

Matthew Illesley stars as lead role Young Reggie in smash hit Rocketman

Matthew is 10 from Gloucestershire & he trains with Stagebox in London during the school holidays. Matthew joined Stagebox as a newcomer and can currently be seen as the lead role in International Paramount Pictures film Rocketman! Matthew also starred in Nativity! The Musical at Christmas! How did you first hear about Stagebox? I auditioned for the Junior Team following on from my brother & sister’s success, and was offered to be part of the London Development team upon its formation. I wanted to be part of the company, knowing how much our older brother & sister loved it. Can you tell us about your journey with Stagebox and your experiences to date (either professional or within the company)? Our Stagebox journey has been incredible. I have been part of the London Development Team (as well as Stagebox Management) and have grown in confidence in a short space of time. I have developed new skills, such as acting through song, as well as what it is like to work with professionals in musical theatre, and what is expected from us kids in a professional environment. I have been filming the lead child role for a feature film due to be released in May 2019 and I was cast in a UK no. 1 Musical Tour this Christmas. If you were giving advice to someone thinking of auditioning what would you say? GO FOR IT...! Stagebox and the creative team work you very hard, but that is to teach us what to expect in the professional world of theatre and film. Everyone is super friendly and there is a real nurturing and family environment. The team becomes your family. Matthew’s Mum & Dad who have four children with Stagebox in both the Elite and Development programmes say: What would you say to a prospective Stagebox parent? Gosh, where do we start with that one....most definitely that to be selected to be part of Stagebox is an honour and a privilege. The team behind Stagebox are wonderful and supportive, dedicating hours and hours to our kids to coach, mentor and emotionally prepare them, ready for a world of knock-backs and frustrations, but also tremendous elation and speechlessness when a ”yes” finally comes....! We would be lying if we said there hadn’t been moments when we have wondered whether we are doing the right thing by our kids; but whenever that happens, there are people ready to talk to you, to allay any fears and doubts, and provide the encouragement and support required. We know it sounds clichéd, but Stagebox really have become our family. The day the kids were asked to be a part of it, is the day the journey into the professional world began. We are beyond lucky and proud of the kids and how far they have come and Stagebox have to take a lot of credit for that.

They most recently enjoyed cinema releases for two films in one year as well as extensive theatre, musical theatre and movie musical successes. How did you first hear about Stagebox? Through a Facebook advert. Riley and Lochlan say: Our journey with Stagebox has been amazing from the start to today.The training, the support for us all, the encouragement and believe, and especially the professional opportunities we have experienced has been something that three or four years ago we could only have dreamed of. From being in multiple shows (Elf the Musical, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang UK Tour, Rags the Musical, Nativity! The Musical and City of Glass) with some of the top billed stars, to being in a cinema released feature film and working alongside stars such as Will Ferrell, television shows & a movie musical this year. It has been one huge rollercoaster of excitement and emotion but one we wouldn't change for the world. Riley & Lochlan’s mum says: If you truly believe your child is ready to take the next step with the highest form of training amongst the best in the business, then look no further than Stagebox. If you know they have something special and you are looking for the best people who will truly hone their skills, believe in them push them to the very best of their potential you’ve made one of the best decisions for your children. They will be welcomed like a new family member and will improve and grow like you could only imagine.

LIONSGATE SCREEN DEBUT FOR ELOISE

Eloise Petts is 11 from Newcastle-Under-Lyme. Eloise joined Stagebox as a newcomer and has gained seven professional credits in theatre, film and television since joining. I first heard about Stagebox when my mum saw an audition on Facebook. We watched some of the videos together and I knew straight away that I would love to be in the team. In my first video with them (the Sherman Brothers Medley) I had so much fun, everyone made me feel really welcome straight away and in one week I had learned new songs, routines, sang and recorded in the recording studio and filmed on location. Filming day was incredible and I loved doing the routines before they shouted “That’s a wrap” while we all cheer and do our Stagebox group hug. As well as all the video’s which I love, the training is amazing. The creatives we get to work with are so different that I always learn something new. I have been lucky enough to gain 7 professional credits since I first joined Stagebox, in Theatre and TV. I really like it too when one of my Stagebox friends gets a part and we all love to celebrate each other’s successes. I could not have dreamed of achieving this much in so little time, it is unbelievable. Thank you Stagebox for the best two years of my life and I can’t wait for what’s next I met one of my best friends in the audition and she didn’t get in that time but got in on her second audition and we’re now training together. Eloise’s Mum says: I personally could not recommend Stagebox enough for a child who wants to pursue their dreams in the industry. The professionalism, training and care your child will receive from Stagebox is second to none. From what I have seen all the children work incredibly hard, have the greatest respect for themselves, coaches and each other and are always happy. Stagebox is the best thing we ever did. Two years on and my daughter is still excited every Thursday for weekly training (100 mile round trip for us). Be prepared though Stagebox can take over your house. I even caught my husband and 6-year-old singing and humming along to current songs from the studio. It’s certainly been a family affair for us. Training aside though, just such lovely and truly caring people, when you drop your child off it’s like handing them over to family. Just perfect for us.

Isobel Khan: From BBC role to making history as the first British Indian actor to play Annie in the West End & Internationally

Isobel Khan is 13 years old from Leeds and joined Stagebox as a newcomer. Isobel most recently played the role of Annie in London’s West End followed by playing the role in Toronto on the International Tour. Isobel has just finished filming on Series 6 of CBBC’s “So Awkward” making her screen debut in this award-winning television show. Isobel says: I attended an open workshop in 2015. Being part of Stagebox is like being part of a big family. Everyone looks out for you, supports you and gives encouragement and help. The training is amazing and very professional. It is like being in a real working musical theatre environment but training and performing with your friends. My biggest achievement to date was getting the role of Annie and performing this role both in the West End and in Toronto. I have done lots of auditions and self-tapes so it was really nice that my hard work and perseverance paid off. I had the best time ever performing and making new friends. It was an experience of a lifetime and something I will never forget. Isobel’s mum says: What Stagebox will give your child is the best training out there provided by industry professionals, which will help your child grow and develop into a confident and professional performer. Encourage your child to enjoy and embrace the training and to treat every audition/selftape as an experience to learn and grow from.

Eloise Groom stars in her screen debut as Sheridan Smith’s daughter Alice

Eloise Groom is 10 and lives in East Yorkshire. Eloise was recently seen in cinema’s playing the lead child role of Alice in “The More You Ignore Me” playing Sheridan Smith & Mark Addy’s daughter. Eloise joined Stagebox as a newcomer. I saw Stagebox on “Keep It In The Family” on ITV when I was just seven and I really wanted to join. I had to wait a little while, but I finally joined when I was 8. After only a few weeks, I went for my first audition and I was cast in a leading role in a feature film! I have also participated in Stagebox Live In London, the Willemijn Verkaik concert (West End) and the Rachel Tucker Concert (UK Tour). I have also just finished a summer season of Shakespeare in York and Nativity! The Musical UK Tour. I have loved it all. I love filming the Stagebox videos. I especially liked “When Children Rule The World” video and the one that we have just filmed in an amazing location! If anyone is thinking of auditioning I would definitely say to give it a try because anything can happen at Stagebox. Eloise’s mum says: My advice to prospective parents would be to encourage your child take all of the opportunities that may come their way and to trust that they will be in the best possible hands. The training they receive is outstanding, but for four weeks a year, my child is also the happiest and best version of herself that she can be and I couldn’t wish for a better experience for her.

Teni Taiwo is 11 from Hertfordshire. Since joining Stagebox Teni has made his screen debut. Teni's previous experience also includes countless theatrical roles for the Royal Shakespeare Company, School of Rock and Chichester Festival Theatre. Teni says: My mum was searching for intensive musical theatre training for children on the internet and came across Stagebox! I auditioned knowing very little about Stagebox but the auditions were a lot of fun and a great experience, by the end of the day I really wanted to join up. While at Stagebox I’ve had a great time and have learnt so much. I’ve had a blast playing mini Aaron Burr and recording songs from the Greatest Showman. It can be hard work, but we work as a team and the teachers are very helpful. I have been fortunate to be cast in professional shows such as Caroline or Change at the Chichester Festival Theatre, RSCs Coriolanus at the London Barbican Theatre and most recently playing the role of Young Pilgrim in AMC’s Into the Badlands. If you were giving advice to someone thinking of auditioning what would you say? Go for it, go in full of energy and try your best. Teni’s Mum says: If you have a child that loves drama and musical theatre and want a place to learn from professionals in an encouraging, fun and supportive environment give Stagebox a go. It’s hard work but very rewarding.

A ROYAL OPENING FOR KATE, SOPHIA & AGATHA DIRECTED BY ARLENE PHILLIPS IN A Little Princess UK Premiere

Kate Woodman is 13 and lives in Shropshire. Kate has appeared in the UK Tour of Annie & most recently played the role of Lavinia in A Little Princess (UK Premiere) directed by Arlene Phillips I first heard of Stagebox through my Mum who read about it on a forum when the London Elite Team was beginning. I think I have developed so much through Stagebox - my dancing in particular has really improved, and I now love dancing and am much more confident. My singing too has become much stronger through all the technical work we do as well as learning a fantastic repotoire of songs which I love. We get the opportunity to work with top industry professionals who are really encouraging but have very high standards so it really means something when they are pleased with you. I have met so many lovely people, Stagebox is always a really fun place to be, but is also very professional. If you want to work hard, have fun, but also strive to be your best then Stagebox is the place for you. I have had loads of amazing opportunities through Stagebox that I wouldn't have anywhere else. Having our routines professionally recorded and filmed is always fantastic and gives a real focus and buzz to video weeks. I have also performed with Stagebox at the Royal Court and with Willemijn Verkaik at the Cambridge Theatre and Rachel Tucker which was amazing, and with the encouragement and backing of Stagebox have also for roles in Kids of the West End at Leicester Square and the UK premiere of A Little Princess at The Royal Festival Hall. I feel that Stagebox really know me, who I am, what my strengths are and how I can improve and I feel they are behind me to advise and support every step of the way. It really is like another family and we work together as a team. Everyone is really friendly and we can all be ourselves but we are all focused and share the same passion to perform. If you want to audition I would definitely say go for it - it could be the start of something fantastic! Be yourself at the audition and work hard - try and let them see who you are and what you have to offer.  To a prospective parent I would say make the most of this opportunity for your child - embrace everything it offers and encourage your child to work hard but don't do it for them. Stagebox is somewhere they can find their own feet and be themselves - we need to support, encourage but also let go a bit - you can totally trust the decisions and direction of the team so step back and watch your child thrive! You will see their enthusiasm, confidence and love of being part of Stagebox as well as well as seeing them challenged and stimulated in all the skills they need to develop. It's a warm, nurturing and hard working environment run by people who have passion and drive - I feel very lucky to be part of it!!

Elizabeth Nelson is 10 from a village in Cheshire. Elizabeth joined Stagebox as a newcomer and made her professional debut at the age of just 9 years old in the leading role of Jemima Potts in the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (UK Tour) My mum spotted an advert on Facebook for a Stagebox audition at the Lowry. It looked exciting, and covered dancing, singing and acting, which I love, so we decided to attend. I joined Stagebox in October 2015, aged 8 and took part in their training programmes. Through Stagebox, age 9, I was offered an audition for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the UK tour. After 2 days of auditions I was thrilled to be cast in the leading child role of Jemima Potts. It was the most amazing experience working within a professional production. Through Stagebox I have also performed in Magic of the Musicals (UK Tour), Live in London (Royal Court), Willemijn Verkaik at the Cambridge Theatre (West End) & with Rachel Tucker (UK Tour). I have recently finished Nativity! The Musical UK Tour! Be confident and be yourself. Stagebox is a very welcoming family who are there to support you on your journey. I was nervous when I entered my Stagebox audition, but quickly realised that there was nothing to worry about and I had fun. Elizabeth's mum says: Stagebox is not just another dance class or singing class. It's a way of life, a large inclusive family there to fully support you, understand your child and guide them on the journey. When you see your child in a Stagebox showcase, a Stagebox video, a professional show, it is evident the outstanding level of training that is provided, along with the love and respect the children have for each other and the mutual respect the children and resident team have for one another. We love seeing the children grow with each performance, and are so grateful for the opportunities that Stagebox has provided us with. Attending the Stagebox audition 3 years ago was the best decision we ever made, and we are excited to see where our Stagebox journey takes us.

Yes! We’re in the band! Isla stars as Summer Hathaway in final cast

Isla Curry is 11 years old from Lindley in Huddersfield and is currently starring as Summer Hathaway in School of Rock! Isla says:

I joined Stagebox after a recommended post came up on my mum's Facebook page. When I first auditioned I thought it was just a workshop and went along for the fun, I was very nervous. Over the last two and a half years Stagebox have given me so much confidence and some amazing opportunities. I have made lots of incredible friends through my training. Some of my highlights during my time in Stagebox are performing alongside my friends in West End Does: Christmas, travelling abroad to star in The Sound of Music and most recently making my West End debut as Summer in School of Rock.

My top tips to anyone auditioning would be to always be yourself, be polite and well behaved, enjoy every moment, give 100% and have lots of fun!

Isla's Mum says:

For anyone with a child passionate about musical theatre, I would highly recommend Stagebox, they have completely transformed Isla. During the time she has been with Stagebox she has not only been given the most amazing opportunities, which have enabled her to grow in confidence and develop her ability as a performer, but she has also been welcomed in to the most incredible Stagebox family and made some strong friendships. It is clear that the Stagebox team care for and nurture the talent of every child they work with. They have always supported and believed in Isla and this, over time, enabled her to believe in herself. When with Stagebox I see my child at her happiest, alive and passionate about what she is doing, whether that be training, taking part in holiday workshops or performing in concerts, she loves it all and we feel privileged to be a part of it.

Sofia Wilkinson Hill, 12 is from Merseyside.Sofia has just finished playing the role of Katie in School of Rock! Sofia says: I heard about Stagebox through one of my friends who was already a member. As soon as I saw the ‘Matilda’ video I knew that this was something that I really wanted to do so I constantly asked my mum if I could audition. My journey through Stagebox has helped me both professionally and on a personal level. On a professional level Stagebox has turned me from an amateur performer into a professional one. Before joining Stagebox I had performed main roles in amateur productions. Since joining Stagebox I have had lots of opportunity to work with West End Professionals and I have had the chance to perform at the Cambridge Theatre ( with Wilamin Verkaik), in the National Tours of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Nativity and most recently in the main role of Katie ( the bass player) in the West End Production of The School of Rock ( Gillian Lynne Theatre,London). Whilst in the School of Rock I was lucky enough to be on the promotional video of the Olivier Awards (2019) and to perform at the Royal Albert Hall alongside the casts of other West End Musicals ( Come From Away , Everybody’s Talking about Jamie, Six, Matilda and many more).In 2019 I was selected to be a Stagebox Ambassador at the London Auditions . This made me feel very proud and I enjoyed sharing my Stagebox journey with the people auditioning. On a personal level my self confidence has grown since starting Stagebox. When I started back in 2017 I was very shy and didn’t really believe in myself . Stagebox has helped me to increase my self confidence and to widen my friendships. Because of Stagebox I now have friends from all over the country. My advice to anyone thinking of auditioning for Stagebox would be to be confident at the audition and to show the people assessing you that you truly deserve a place on the team. I would also advise you to persevere. If you don’t succeed the first time, don’t let it put you off trying again especially if it is something that you really want to do. The first time I auditioned for Stagebox and for School of Rock I was unsuccessful. This made me work even harder because I knew that it was something that I really wanted to do. Hard work pays off- well it did for me ! Sophia's Mum says: I would 100% recommend Stagebox to any prospective parent . My daughter joined the Manchester Elite Team in February 2017 and since joining the team has never looked back. The opportunities that the children get to work with industry professionals are vast but what I value most about the company is that the directors make the effort to know and treat every child as an individual. They know their individual strengths and areas for development and they know what roles each child is best suited for. My daughter’s confidence and skills as a performer have improved one hundred fold since joining Stagebox. For any parent looking to develop their child in Musical Theatre, this company is the best by a country mile. The track record of the company speaks for itself. Aaliyah Monk is 13 from near Suffolk and she joined Stagebox in London as a newcomer. Aaliyah has just finished playing Summer Hathaway in School of Rock which was her West End debut Aaliyah Monk is 13 from near Suffolk and she joined Stagebox in London as a newcomer. Aaliyah has just finished playing Summer Hathaway in School of Rock which was her West End debut. My friend is in the Leeds Team and told me about Stagebox and it sounded fun and something I wanted to be a part of. I auditioned for the Original London Elite Team two years ago and was really excited to get a place. As well as making some really special friendships, I've enjoyed all the training workshops, and videos. It was amazing performing at Live in London at the Royal Court and taking part in other concerts. I made my West End debut playing band manager Summer Hathaway in School of Rock & have just finished playing the role in the West End. I'm looking forward to the next Stagebox training week coming soon, seeing all my friends again and all the exciting opportunities that Stagebox brings. Stagebox changed my life and I would never have met the amazing friends I have and I don't think I would have performed in the West End without their support. It's fun and exciting and they really put you out there for amazing opportunities. Stagebox is like family to me. So be yourself and go for it, they will put you out there. Aaliyahs Mum says: Stagebox have gone above and beyond for both my child and myself and I can't thank them enough for the opportunities and support they have given her. It's a very tough industry and it is helpful to be guided by people who really do know what they're talking about. It takes hard work and commitment but one that is worthwhile in the long run. In my opinion it is the best thing she has done with regards to the opportunities that have come her way since joining. My daughter can't wait for the next Stagebox training week.
