The new towers for Starlight Theatre, set to complete this April, feature copper-clad roof structures crafted to complement the iconic originals. Touring Zahner's renowned fabrication shop was an incredible glimpse into the artistry and precision behind these designs. It’s inspiring to see vision brought to life. Stay tuned as these stunning towers transform the Starlight Theatre landscape! - 🧵 Earlier this month, our Tech Theatre Training students met at AtoZ Theatrical o learn all about costuming! After receiving a full tour of AtoZ's costume shop, they got down to learning how to take measurements, design for a character, a lesson in alterations, and more. Thank you to our partners at AtoZ for helping us teach the next generation of tech theatre professionals!
- 🎂 Did you know Starlight was first created in 1950 for Kansas City's centennial celebration, Thrills of a Century? Afterwards a not-for-profit organization was created to activate and run the theatre. (That's us!) Take a journey through the photos below to see Starlight's initial construction, the seating bowl and towers!
