Saturday was a star-studded night for the kids at Starbright Center for the Arts.

The kids dressed in dapper suits and elegant gowns and walked in on a redcarpet entrance, with twinkling lights, reminiscent of the Oscars but with the added bonus of karaoke, popcorn and a ping-pong table.

Students from the program were recognized for their hard work, starring in or helping with at least one of the 20 productions that showcased over 2025 for the first Starbie award ceremony.
