Kids learn and hone theater skills, then apply them to create a one-act scripted play. Theater skills we’ll learn include movement, voice, character building, focus and concentration, as well as sensory and emotional awareness. We’ll also spend time designing costumes and promoting our show. ​

A hilarious adaptation of the classic story. In this fractured fairy tale, Jack’s mother sends him out to sell a toilet plunger so they can buy some food. Yes, a toilet plunger. Join us to follow Jack on his adventure!​

(The True Story of Jack and The Beanstalk is a short play we found on our favorite kids theater resource: Drama Notebook.)
"Starshine's theater offerings have been transformative for my daughter. She developed improvisation, acting and voice skills but most importantly she increased her confidence and sense of belonging in the local community. I am so grateful that Starshine exists to fill the gap in theater arts programming here in Sisters. 10/10 recommend!"~Emily (2025)
