Supporting Middle and High School Students
STAR FEST is an inclusive pursuit of theatrical excellence for all theatre students and teachers from sea to sea to sea.
Whether at STAR FEST West, Atlantic, East, Central or South, you’ll meet a community of dynamic, engaging people just like you. There are 27 regional STAR Festivals in nine different provinces and one territory, where students can qualify to participate in their choice of four Canadian National STAR Festivals.
You’ll take part in interactive workshops led by renowned artists, allowing you to discover or deepen your understanding of all facets of theatre.
You’ll meet other artists like yourself who will be showcasing their talents, and you’ll have the opportunity to showcase your talent in a variety of ways. This is not a competition.The STAR Festivals offer students involved in theatre the opportunity to learn from one another and professionals in the theatre community. Students who choose to present work for adjudication will receive feedback from theatre professionals in their field of interest. Last year over a million dollars in scholarships and financial aid were awarded at our 4 National STAR Festivals! So if your students are looking to continue to pursue theatre or film after high school coming to STAR Fest is a must.
You’ll make many discoveries, but above all, you’ll meet people who could turn into lasting friendships.
