My daughter has been part of New Star Children’s Theatre for nearly four years, and I can honestly say it has changed her life.
Before joining New Star, she often received only a few lines in productions at other theater companies. At New Star, she has consistently been given meaningful roles, lines, and solos that have helped her grow tremendously as both an actress and a singer — but even more importantly, they helped her truly fall in love with performing.
What makes New Star so special is that every child is given the opportunity to shine. Even students in their very first production are encouraged, included, and given meaningful moments on stage. The environment is incredibly supportive, uplifting, and positive. The kids genuinely cheer each other on and celebrate one another’s successes, creating a true sense of community and confidence.
I are so grateful for everything New Star has given my daughter. It’s more than a theater company — it’s a place where children grow, belong, and thrive. We absolutely love New Star!
