Watch Family Friendly Shows
Take a look at our list of upcoming family friendly shows!
This light and colorful Musical brings several Dr. Seuss characters to life as craziness strikes. Horton struggles to care for a small town of people living on a flower, a bird falls in love with an Elephant, JoJo gets lost, then found and more. The story is narrated by The Cat while he twists things up and really makes this story jump off the page. This show is about love, friendship, loyalty and of course MUSIC!
​
This show will not only be our main stage show, but also our two week Jr. Starlighters summer camp.
A small group of weary travelers discover the power of the season while trapped in a lonely train station on Christmas
Eve. As a blizzard rages outside, the troubled people are forced to turn to each other for companionship. Trying to make
them more comfortable is the old stationmaster, Charlie. When the clock strikes midnight, there is a knock on the station
door and seven youngsters appear. They’ve seen the station lights from the nearby church where, in secret, they’ve been
practicing the story of the nativity which they plan to present at regular service. They offer to perform their play for the
travelers, and afterward they speak to the travelers individually, giving advice that is seemingly wise beyond their years.
Jr. Starlighters Courses

Monthly Program
What is Jr. Starlighters? A children's theatre class designed to introduce theatre arts and performance skills to students ages 6-18. These classes foster creativity, boost self confidence, enhance communication skills and help to develop love for the performing arts.
We have broken our students into 3 groups to help establish a healthy learning environment.
These groups all work to promote students grow with curriculum and activities based on age and knowledge of theatre. We use the National Arts Core Standards to shape monthly programs for our Jr. Starlightes.
