Former Trinity Catholic College student Phoebe Harris was the only student south of Canterbury to be selected among 24 high school actors from last year to perform at the prestigious theatre for the Young Shakespeare Company.
She returned to Dunedin earlier this week after an "amazing" time in London.
"It was one of the best experiences of my entire life," she said.
"When we got there, I was like this is exactly where I’m supposed to be and it was insane that I got to perform on the Globe stage after watching all the professional actors perform there."
It gave her the confidence to go back and do it again.
"It just made me want to be a professional [actor] even more."
The Company spent two weeks rehearsing with different tutors at the theatre and put on a midnight matinee of Romeo and Juliet.
The actors learned how to project their voices and make eye contact with the audience at the theatre.
Miss Harris was at the Ara Institute of Canterbury National Academy of Singing and Dramatic Art this year.
Former classmate Meadow Stewart, 17, was one of the 48 students selected from the National Shakespeare Festival to take part in the National Shakespeare Schools Production this year.
Meadow was hopeful she would impress three leading New Zealand directors to be a part of the 24 actors selected to go to London next year.
"It would be such a big step for me and a starting point for me to get into the industry because I am hoping to get into performing arts after high school."
King’s High School year 13 student Ethan Shaw-Wood, 18, was also selected to take part in the production this year.
