Join Starlight in celebrating area high school students at the 19th Annual Blue Star Awards Ceremony on Thursday, May 20! The FREE event begins at 7:30 p.m. and will include nominee performances and the awarding of more than $10,000 in scholarships to students from 33 participating schools. The event will also stream live on Starlight's Facebook page.
To help us maintain social distancing, seat numbers will be assigned manually by Starlight staff once your order is processed. You will be notified prior to the event of your assigned seats. If your party wishes to sit together, you must reserve the total number of tickets in your group (up to 8) in a single order. Reservations are required and can be made below or by calling the Starlight Theatre Box Office at (816) 363-7827. Individual nominees do not need to reserve a ticket for themselves, as each will automatically receive two (2) tickets (one for the nominee and one for a guest). Nominees will be seated in their own section to provide easy access to the stage.
Masks, social distancing and safety protocols will be mandatory.
