The Star Center's programs, classes, and workshops allow the kids to participate in all aspects of the production. The youth develop a sense of teamwork and pride in finishing something that they played a major part in producing. The center allows the kids to create and develop in the areas they like. We utilize student directors, musicians, costumers, visual artists and choreographers. During the Summer camps, some of our former child performers are camp counselors. The programs are designed to educate both preschool and K-12 students. The Center also offers special programs for adults and families. Students learn about techniques and skills used in the performing arts and receive hands-on experience in technical theater. The programs are rooted in education and promote inclusion in the school curriculum.

Many of our students use their experience at the Star Center as part of their community service. The Star Center, because of its strong belief that theater should bring together all kinds of people, has been successful in building a whole new audience for the shows. Because of the low cost many people are able to attend and bring their entire families, including young children to the shows. This creates a new generation of art supporters.
