Help Alexis attend the International All-Stars for Wales!
Donation protected
Hi, Im Louise, I'm raising funds for my extremely talented daughter to attend this once in a life-time opportunity!
A Welsh teenager who deserves the chance to fly high in the Big Apple - after being selected globally from 1000's of auditionees to perform with this elite group of 20 young performers - please, if you can help us get her there!
(if you have time to read the longer detailed version below please do!)
In Short: We need your help to raise £9000 to cover the cost of this incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience for Alexis, A 17-year-old Welsh Musical Theatre performer, and a Chaperone to attend the International All-Stars performance troupe tour in New York and Atlanta in January 2026.
Longer detailed version : Alexis is a 17 year old Musical theatre performer, based in Penpedairheol – a small village in the South Wales Valley’s. She has recently, after an intense audition process, been offered a place with the Elite International All-Stars Performance Troupe, a group of just 20 performers aged between 14 and 18 years selected from over 1000 auditionee’s from the USA, Canada, UK, Mainland Europe, Australia and New Zealand!
The All-Stars will be heading out on tour in January 2026, where they will travel to New York City to undergo intense training sessions, lessons in dance, acting, singing, and characterisation, all while partaking in rigorous rehearsals for the multiple performances on the tour. They will also have the opportunity to attend meet-and-greet question sessions with some top Broadway performers, attend Broadway productions and visit some of New York’s Iconic filming locations and venues – then they will be flown to Georgia to perform at the World renowned “Junior Theatre Festival – Atlanta” where they will perform in front of thousands of young performers, group directors, industry executives and have the event filmed for aspiring Musical Theatre performers around the globe.
Being a part of the International All-Stars Performance Troupe is an incredible achievement for any young aspiring performer, but, for Alexis this is a new beginning, after having her mental health shattered and being forced to live with anxiety & depression leaving her feeling like she had nowhere to turn, it is only in the last few years Alexis discovered her relief in the awakening of her love for all things theatre, a dark and scary time in her life where it literally came down to “it wouldn’t be worth living without theatre”, she has battled her mental health issues like a true warrior, fighting to get back her bubbly and beautiful personality, and it is with thanks to amazing opportunities given to her by the team at Stardust Youth Theatre – a free to attend community theatre group in South Wales, and Suzanne Scales Performing Arts School with their scholarship, that she has accomplished a huge portfolio of productions and musical performances in this time, including:
• Cunegonde in Candide
• Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast
• Medda Larkin in Newsies
• Killer Queen & Galileo in We Will Rock You
• Stepmother in Into The Woods
• Miss Sherman in Fame
• Jane Doe in Ride The Cyclone
• Elder Price in Book of Mormon
• Lucas Beineke in Addams Family
• Rusty in Footloose
• and well as many showcase performances
She has performed in the Wales Millennium Centre with Stardust Youth Theatre and Suzanne Scale Performing Arts School at the Stars of Tomorrow production, attended and performed at the Junior Theatre Festival in Birmingham and now has this huge life-changing career boosting opportunity in front of her – this is where we need your help.
Here she is performing The Ballard of Jane Doe from Ride the Cyclone :

The cost for the International All-Stars Performance Troupe Tour is £4500 per All-Star
(this includes the program costs, travel, food and an emergency fund) – Alexis must take a chaperone on the tour at equal cost, meaning we need to find approximately £9000 – unfortunately, even though I, her parent, and our family are trying our hardest to raise the funds we're not too proud to ask for help – we will be running fundraising events, concerts, events where Alexis (and us) can be sponsored to walk, run, climb, sing (or be silent – that would be a first for Alexis!) as well as offering exclusive merchandise where 100% of the profits will go to the fundraising pot!
If you choose to donate today, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
We don’t want to ask for “free” money, but this amount would not be achievable for most families, so to hopefully increase our fundraising ability we will be offering something in return
If you donate ANY amount, you will be entered into a random draw to win an exclusively designed tshirt
If you donate £5 > £9.99 – you will get an exclusively designed wrist band
If you donate £10 > £19.99 – you will get an exclusively designed Lanyard
If you donate £20 > £29.99 - you will get an exclusively designed Tote Bag
If you donate £30+ – You will get an exclusively designed tshirt
*You are not paying for the products, all proceeds will go directly to Alexis' fund - they will be gifted as a great big "Thank You!" from us to you!
We completely understand that times are tough, and if you can't donate right now, or at all then we would really appreciate a share of our page!
Thank you all so much!
