Born in 1982, STAR is a 5-week summer program for youth, ages 8-18, which provides youth with the highest quality theatre training opportunities available in Alaska. Through specialized training – which culminates in fully-realized productions – students engage in valuable theatre skills as well as teamwork, discipline, and creative thinking. In 2002, STAR was recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts as one of 16 “outstanding American arts programs for young people.”
