“I started producing and directing at my local youth centre at age 12 back in 1999. Five years later, I founded Hoi Polloi Theatre Company. I always knew deep down that I wanted to create, and now I want to give the same opportunity to the next generation,” says Marco A Calleja, founder of Hoi Polloi Academy and director of the Play in Production Programme.

After last year’s incredible success, the Play in Production Programme for Tweens, Teens, and Youths is back—bigger and better than ever! This groundbreaking initiative is designed for young creatives aged 12+ who want to experience the full journey of staging a musical—from page to stage.





🎶 Have you ever dreamed of producing your own musical? What does it take? A Producer? Director? Choreographer? Vocal Coach? Costumes? This year, participants will dive deep into the full production process, gaining hands-on experience in all aspects of theatre-making.

A Fully Licensed Production at a Professional Theatre

This year’s cohort will have the unique opportunity to work on a fully licensed production of Disney’s Dare to Dream, which will be staged at the Valletta Campus Theatre on the 6th and 7th of September 2025.
