WILLIAMSTOWN – Starlight Stage Youth Theatre is now accepting applications for its 33rd season, June 23-July 27, 2008.Founded in 1976, Starlight offers a hands-on theatre experience for young people ages 8-18.

The church is right on the BRTA route and is handicap accessible. Over the course of five weeks of rehearsal the company stages a full production which is open to the general public for four evening performances.
Starlight has been directed by Robert Y. Burns and the Burns family of Williamstown since its inception. Starlight is the third oldest continuously operating summer theatre in Berkshire County, after the Berkshire Theatre Festival and the Williamstown Theatre Festival. Over the past 32 years hundreds of local youngsters have received their introduction to theatre with Starlight. Some have gone on to careers in the performing arts and the technical aspects of theatre and film, but all, whatever path they have chosen in life, have come away with a deep love and respect for the theatre, and happy memories of their Starlight experience.
