Starlight Community Theater Shines in Anthem

It’s hard to believe another school year is winding down! As you plan your summer, check out Anthem’s own Starlight Community Theater for something new, fun, and educational.

Serving the community since 2006, Starlight Community Theater is dedicated to providing live theater experiences on and off the stage, for youth and adults. In addition to the run of their final production of the 2011–12 season, Once Upon A Mattress, Starlight offers a summer Acting Workshop for all ages, "Acting and Composition" – brought to the North Valley by the highly esteemed Pasha W. Yamotahari of Phoenix Theater. Camp Rising Star offers two sessions producing Disney plays The Jungle Book Kids and The AristoCats Kids. See Starlight's Calendar here. (For Discount Rates on Workshops and Camp Sessions, or to support the theater, become a Starlight Member!)

Once Upon a Mattress – based on the fairy tale The Princess and the Pea
According to the Starlight Community Theater's website, it may not have been a pea that kept the Princess awake! You will be "carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans!" You can still catch the final performances of the season:

Friday, April 27, 7:00 p.m.
Saturday, April 28, 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Sunday, April 29, 3:00 p.m.
Suite #B-119, Safeway Center
3655 W Anthem Way, Anthem

Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students, and can be purchased through PayPal online at www.StarlightCommunityTheater.org or at the door (cash only). For group sales, please contact the ticket manager at StarlightTickets@hotmail.com. Midfirst Bank will match $1,000 in support of Starlight Community Theater. Your small change can make a big difference!  Check under your mattress and bring your loose coin donations to the performance.
