As most things do, our theater began with a personal experience.  We are two theater loving families and we found that as we took our children to theater productions, we were never quite sure if the show that we were about to see would be appropriate for our kids or not.  Many shows had language, violence, and/or inappropriate themes we ended having to explain to our kids and we never quite knew what to expect.  We had to do research each time we wanted to see a play to see if it was family-friendly or not. We longed for quality theater productions that were more in the G or PG range.

We also noticed that as both of our families began getting involved in acting and theater that there is something unique about acting in a play.  This form of art is extraordinary in it’s ability to unify and bring people together in a way that other art forms cannot.  We were eager for our children (and others as well) to have face to face experiences that build strong character as they learn to take risks, put themselves out there to be seen, and develop confidence and new skills.   

  And so we decided to join forces to create the vision of what we were imagining was possible and the Huckleberry Star Theater was born.
