🎭 READY TO START MUSICAL THEATRE?
Our HPA Middle School Musical Theatre Programme is the next step for students progressing from four years of Young Performers — but you don’t need to have started with us at age 3. 💛

🎃 HPAPumpkin are themselves at the beginning of their Musical Theatre journey — making this a great entry point for 7–9 year olds joining HPA for the first time.

💜 And starting a little later? HPALavender is our newly created entry class for 9–11 year olds who would benefit from beginning their HPA journey directly in Middle School.

Each week:
🎭 40 mins Acting & Speaking
🎶 40 mins Singing & Music
💃 40 mins Dance & Movement

🔥 Want more?
Add our Exam & Performance Pathway for an extra hour of focused training.

Whether you're progressing with us or just starting — there's a place to begin.

2026/27 registrations are NOW OPEN.

🎭 THE FIRST MASK COMES OFF…
He has been watching from the shadows.
Now, it’s time to meet The Phantom.

👻 Matthew Grech Margueret stars as The Phantom in Hoi Polloi Theatre Company’s brand-new Pantoween musical, The Panto of the Opera.

A voice in the darkness. A figure behind the curtain. A story hidden behind the mask.
But this isn’t quite the Phantom story you think you know…
One by one, the characters of our Opera House are stepping into the light.

🎟️ Early Bird booking until 21 September.
📅 30 & 31 October 2026
📍 Teatru Salesjan, Sliema
🎟️ BOOK NOW - https://www.showshappening.com/hoi-polloi-malta/the-panto-of-the-opera

THIS HALLOWEEN… THE PHANTOM GETS A DAME. 👠👻

🌟 HPA STUDENT SPOTLIGHT 🌟
We hear there’s a little HPA reunion happening in London! 🇬🇧💜

A big shoutout to Nyall, Selena and Milla, who are currently taking part in the incredible West End Stage experience! 🎭✨

They’re spending the week training in acting, singing and dance with West End professionals, taking part in specialist workshops and experiencing a West End show — all culminating in their West End debut on the stage of His Majesty’s Theatre! 🤩

And joining the London theatre takeover is Emily, catching up with her HPA friends and, naturally, watching musicals… because what else does an HPA student do during the summer break? 😂🎭

Training, performing, watching theatre and making memories together — even when HPA is officially on holiday!

Enjoy every second, guys. We’re very proud of you all! 💜✨

🎭✨ READY FOR MORE?
At HPA, we see the performing arts as both a means and an end.

🌱 For some, theatre is the means — building confidence, creativity, communication and connection. That’s our Recreational Pathway.

🔥 For others, the performing arts become the goal.
From as young as 6 years old with our HPA Beets, the Exam & Performance Pathway becomes an optional add-on to their core HPA training — growing with them throughout their Academy journey, right through to age 15. 🚀
