ABOUT US
Welcome to Centrestage Malta.
Welcome to our hub where our imagination gives us light and helps us to grow.
This is where education and theatre come together. Performing arts is not only given importance on stage but also in ones lives. Speech is not only important to deliver lines of a script but also to address a group of people socially.
Centrestage gives incentives to students and let give confidence a boost. We let our students be as creative as possible during workshops and acivities and let them brainstorm on various discussions that relate both to theatre and life. Theatre knowledge is crucial during our sessions and therefore lots of information and theatre history is specified.
We are one big family and each and every individual matters. We care for the students well being and health.

About Us
Centrestage Malta - School of Performing Arts
Centrestage Malta is a dynamic performing arts school rooted in musical theatre. It began in Summer 2010 with a successful workshop led by Tiziana Calleja, which culminated in a performance titled ‘GLEE!’. The energy and enthusiasm from that first production set the foundation for what would become the Centrestage journey.
Since then, Centrestage has continued to grow, offering regular workshops designed to strengthen skills in voice, movement, stamina, breathing, and ear training. Despite the diverse lifestyles of its members—ranging from full-time students to professionals—what unites the group is its passion for performance and a commitment to excellence.
Over the years, the Centrestage Troupe has performed in a wide range of events, including cabaret shows, Christmas performances in hotels and at the Malta International Airport, and concerts at national events. In 2012, the troupe featured weekly in a live television programme, performing musical numbers each week.
That same year, several members sat for Trinity College London Musical Theatre exams, obtaining high marks that further strengthened the group’s bond. This bond is at the heart of Centrestage—members don’t just perform together, they form lasting friendships that shine through on stage.
Centrestage has since established itself as a vibrant troupe, producing original events such as:
-
A Musical Dine (2014) & A Musical Dine 2 (2015) – musical theatre with gala dining
-
In Stitches – a comedy-themed musical theatre evening
-
Cocktails & Cabaret (2016)
-
Lollipop (2017) and Rum & Rock ’n’ Roll (2019) – nostalgic tributes to 1940s wartime music
In 2015, the troupe was honoured to perform at the Flame of Peace Ceremony at San Anton Gardens, by invitation of Her Excellency the President of Malta, Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca.
