💫 Financial Support at Starlight Theatre
Because every child deserves a place to shine. No child turned away due to an inability to pay.
At Starlight Theatre, we believe that theatre should be accessible, joyful, and possible for every family — no matter their financial situation. We know life can be expensive, schedules can be unpredictable, and raising kids takes a village. That’s why we’ve built multiple avenues to make participation manageable, stress-free, and full of support.
Below are the ways we work with families to ensure that cost is never the reason a child can’t experience the magic of theatre.
✨ Monthly Payment Plans
Spread your class or production tuition across the season in smaller, predictable payments.
​
✨ Pay-in-Full Discount
Families who prefer to pay upfront receive a tuition discount.
​
✨ No-Interest, No-Fee Options
Our payment plans never include anything other than enrollment fees — just simple, family-friendly scheduling.
If you need a customized plan, we’re happy to work with you. Communication is always welcomed.
​
🌟 Fundraising Opportunities
Students who want to actively participate in earning their tuition can join our fundraising opportunities throughout the year. These may include:
Community events
Product-based fundraisers
Theatre promotion opportunities
Volunteer-based student credits
Students can participate as much or as little as they’d like — every bit helps.
💛 Financial Hardship Support
Families experiencing temporary or long-term hardship may be eligible for reduced tuition through our Starlight Support Fund. Support is based on need and availability.
To apply, families simply submit a short financial hardship form.
No essays. No invasive questions.
Just an honest snapshot of your situation so we can help where we can.
​
🌟 Scholarships
A limited number of scholarships are available each season for students demonstrating financial need, commitment to theatre, or exceptional artistic passion.
Scholarships may cover:
Full tuition
Partial tuition
Production fees
Applications are simple, confidential, and reviewed with care.
I want to give back.
For families who are in a position to offer help, your generosity directly lifts up children and teens who need it. Every contribution, large or small, makes a very real difference.​
