A Campaign for Starlight
Uniquely KC
Through venue improvements and programs expansion, the Uniquely KC Campaign will enhance the Starlight tradition and extend it to new, diverse participants of all ages.
Everyone belongs at Starlight.
Every visit to Starlight is different. Bring theatre to life for students. Get caught up in the excitement of a Broadway show. Experience live music from your favorite band. Celebrate a special occasion. It’s all here at Starlight.
I think that Starlight is using its platform to create a very communal experience. We’re here, bonded for a moment.“
