Check out the Starlight STARS July shows

Summer is in full swing and so are the Starlight STARS! Catch their performances this month on the Spotlight Stage at Starlight and throughout the metro.

This year, 14 talented Kansas City students in grades 8 through 11 were selected to join the Starlight STARS. They receive intensive training in acting, singing and dance throughout the summer and produce a musical theatre medley to perform before select Broadway shows at Starlight and in the community. The STARS began rehearsals in May and will continue to meet through September, culminating with a performance at Starlight’s Annual Gala on Sept. 22.

See the Starlight STARS perform this month during The Big Picnic at the Nelson-Atkins at 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 22 and on Starlight’s Spotlight Stage (inside Gate 4) before Hairspray at 7 p.m. and 7:20 p.m. on Tuesday, July 31.
