What STC Parents are Saying:
““Starz Theater Company is unique in both vision and quality. Not only are they churning out amazing shows that seem to increase in quality every year, but they are also intensely focused on building the character and quality of each student who comes in. At the end of the season, this is what truly shines both on stage and off. STC has, from the beginning, established itself as a community of mutual encouragement for children, their families and staff. The directorial team consists of caring, professional women. Their passion for the arts, kids and God is sprinkled over every detail of each season. Thanks STC for helping this family find their people!””
“Students are given the ability to discover their gifts and talents from the Lord, yet understand it’s all for His glory.”
“I appreciate the meaningful devotions. Prayer time being offered. Allowing kids to share their hearts and be spiritual leaders.”
“Our family has been SO blessed by STARZ! Our daughter has been part of STARZ since its first year, and every year, it just gets better and better! The students receive such godly leadership and mentoring over the five months of preparing for their spring performances!”
“We absolutely loved every aspect of Starz! …The entire season was one rewarding experience after another and the culmination of show week & weekend were wonderful beyond words. Not only the training, but also the huge heart of the directorial team was something we are so very thankful for…”
“STARZ is a beautiful mix of excellent acting/singing/dance training with a Christ-like, grace-filled community. My kids are able to grow in their theater skills in a non-competitive and supportive environment… This a place where they feel like they are home and belong. Even if they never pursue theater as a career, I know that STARZ will be remembered as a hugely formative part of their childhood.”
“Our boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves! We personally saw growth in their behavior, attitude, singing, dancing, acting, ownership, participation, service, and promotion on the home front too. Starz, as a theater company endorses all of this! Figurative and literal character development are emphasized. More than anything-that’s what we have appreciated in taking part in this company.”
“We absolutely have loved our experience with Starz Theater Company. It has truly blessed our family, and we are already looking forward to next season!”
“STC has given our kiddos a place to belong, grow in confidence and serve others. It has been a lifeline for community for us after moving to the area. Incredibly grateful for all TP and STARZ means to us!”
“So proud to be a part of this community!”
“Being a part of this group from the beginning, we have witnessed incredible growth in the children’s skills on stage, as well as growth in its outreach. Each year the audience size has at least doubled, and performing in the brand-new ENT Center took the show to a whole new level! The expert training the cast receives has really turned these children into fantastic actors and actresses.”
“Starz has given our daughter an outlet. Normally a shy little girl, she comes alive on stage! Not only does she enjoy being on stage performing, she loves the time spent with an amazing group of teachers and friends. Enrolling our daughter in STARZ is guaranteed investment in a safe, fun environment where we know she will be surrounded by love, great role models, and continually learning valuable life lessons!”

“Annie” - STC Season 4
“Starz is one the most incredible opportunities you can put your child into. It not only built my confidence in theater and performance, but also taught me real life skills and gave me a community. The directorial team is such a joy! They really truly care about their students and want to see them succeed. I would not be who I am today without Starz Theater Company. I am so grateful!”
“The best part about STARZ is making people happy when they watch our performances. I have made many friends and STARZ is my family away from home. I audition each year because I want new opportunities to grow.”
“This was such a great experience for me, it was really a dream come too. I built so many friendships that I will never forget, and the memories that I made will stay with me forever. I would definitely recommend everyone I know to audition for Starz, because it is an experience that you can not get anywhere else.”
“Thank you for inspiring me to be the best version of myself! ”
“I have loved being part of the Starz community. I’ve been involved for 4 years now and its helped my level of confidence grow so much.”
“Starz has made an impact on my life and I want to never grow up so that I can stay in Starz forever! I know this will never happen but that’s how much I enjoy Starz! This season has helped me find my voice, believe, and create.
”
“STARZ is like a family. We pray for each other, we encourage each other, we are for each other! I have learned how to act, sing and dance, too.”
“Thank you for continually pushing us and leading us fearlessly! We couldn’t be where we are today without you.
”
“Turning Pointe is where I would spend hours upon hours rehearsing, making memories, and becoming a true family of actors and actresses, who all had phenomenal gifts and loved the Lord. STARZ is my family and always will be. Every inside joke, very laughing moment, and smiling face, will forever be in my heart. Thank you STARZ Theater Company for flipping my world upside down.”
“Mary Poppins” - STC Season 8
What the Community is Saying:
“Anne of Green Gables” - STC Season 2
“First, your level of professionalism was truly off the charts. Seriously, I have seen professional shows that were not as well performed. Second, is your excellence and attention to detail. This goes beyond the cast and includes the crew and staff as well. The result is powerful and goes to the very heart of the purpose of theater. The power of theater is to transport the audience into a story that is outside their own.”
“Thank you for giving my class this opportunity. I really enjoyed watching the musical. My favorite part was when they were running around us. That was funny. Thank everyone that help set up the play. Also, I really enjoyed the snack! I hope that any other play you do turns out this awesome.”
“Thank you all for this best opportunity to watch “Newsies”, the musical. It was the best musical I ever watched. You guys inspired many students to be creative in life or when they do things.”
“It is super cool that Peter and the Darling children were able to fly! -LS”
“...What set this performance apart for me was the strong messages of character sprinkled throughout the show. Being kind matters and God really can be there for you during difficult times. This is what we teach our kids but how often do they hear it echoed in our entertainment venues? Thank you for picking a play that can entertain AND instruct.”
“The Starz performance of Cinderella was thoroughly enjoyable! The sweet spirit of the Starz kids shone through in their attitudes and their well organized and impressively executed performances. The show was worth twice the price! Magical and uplifting entertainment!”
“What a terrific opportunity for young people to not only discover but also strut and develop their theatrical talents! I saw three of the four performances of Cinderella, and was delighted with the quality and enthusiasm that spread across the stage each time the curtain went up. ”
“Man, I love you guys! I really appreciate everything you’ve done to make this show great - the time, the people, and prayer. There’s nothing as spectacular as your shows, well, maybe some Broadway acts. -BK”
