TREASURE WITHIN Testimonials
Here's what schools are saying about Rise Theatre's 'Treasure Within' Day:
2026 so far
St Margaret of Scotland Catholic Primary, Luton
Rise Theatre’s CST Day performance of Treasure Within was absolutely brilliant! The opportunity for children to learn about CST in a different way was fantastic. The mix of drama, humour, and meaningful reflection kept the whole school (Reception - Year 6) audience captivated. You could feel the passion for sharing the message of Catholic Social Teaching. A brilliant and uplifting experience for all! Thank you and I am sure we will see each other again!
St Vincent De Paul Catholic Primary, Westminster, London
The children and staff absolutely loved the performance. Pupils of all ages were intrigued, fully engaged and inspired throughout. The songs were catchy and memorable and each concept of Catholic Social Teaching was delivered in a way that was accessible and meaningful for the children. The performance encouraged the children to think more deeply about important values while remaining fun, interactive and entertaining. A fantastic experience for our school community.
Our Lady & St Joseph Catholic Academy, Nuneaton
Rise Theatre delivered a powerful and engaging exploration of Catholic Social Teaching. Through creative storytelling and thoughtful performance, they brought complex principles such as human dignity, solidarity, and care for the vulnerable to life in a way that was both accessible and deeply meaningful. The production was not only educational but also inspiring, encouraging reflection on how these values can be lived out in everyday life. The performers connected brilliantly with the audience, creating an atmosphere that was both thought-provoking and uplifting. It was a memorable experience that left a lasting impression, and I would highly recommend Rise Theatre's production to any school or community looking for an impactful and faith-filled way to explore Catholic Social Teaching.
Our Lady’s Catholic Primary, Chesham Bois
I would certainly recommend RISE Theatre, and this show in particular, to any (Catholic) school as they manage to deliver solid faith content in fun, creative ways that children can easily relate to and remember. This is not just a show but a full-day, interactive experience of faith in which everybody can see the relevance of the Gospel in their everyday life. I believe this stimulating approach to Catholic Social Teaching will help our children bring the values of the Gospel into today’s world, even beyond their school days. Thank you, RISE, your ministry is a true blessing for us all!

Our school was blessed to welcome the Treasure Within performance, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The children were captivated from beginning to end - the quality of the acting, music, and storytelling was exceptional. What impressed us most was how beautifully the production wove Catholic Social Teaching into the narrative in a way that was engaging, accessible, and meaningful for every age group. The performance sparked thoughtful conversations among pupils about dignity, compassion, and the importance of seeing Christ in one another and within ourselves. It was both entertaining and spiritually enriching - a rare gift. We are deeply grateful for this Catholic theatre company and their dedication to sharing faith-filled, high-quality productions with young people. We look forward to welcoming them back again!

The CST themes were presented and explored in engaging and relevant ways for the children. The RISE performers were energetic and entertaining and the children were immersed in the 'Treasure Within' theme. The songs were catchy and the children loved joining in with the words and actions. They developed their understanding of human dignity.
St Vincent's Catholic Primary, Newcastle upon Tyne
Rise Theatre’s Treasure Within performance and workshop were fantastic. The show was very engaging; our students were captivated from start to finish. The characters were brought to life with humour and sincerity, that made the message both powerful and accessible. The accompanying workshops were equally enjoyable and engaging: well-planned, interactive, and thought-provoking. Each activity was purposeful and tailored perfectly to our students’ age group, helping them reflect on the show’s core themes in a fun and meaningful way. Thank you, Rise Theatre, for an inspiring and memorable experience - we can’t wait to welcome you back!
