CASTMATES
Castmates are performers who support each other throughout the production journey. We invented this model so our performers can consider and attend to each others' needs during rehearsals, maximally showcase their talent and build long-lasting friendships.
On stage, it helps us tell authentic, multidimensional stories and achieve a professional product. Off stage it means we all have fun!
OUR MISSION
To create opportunities for connection and artistic expression both on and off the stage in a way that reflects and harnesses the diverse abilities of our community.
I'LL GIVE YOU STARS AND THE MOON...
The theatrical experience bears a unique unnameable magic. Perhaps it is the way it unites diverse individuals, perhaps it is the breathless moment of fear before the curtain rises, or the immense self-pride during the final bows.
I may not know what draws me back every time to the stage, but I am eternally grateful for the liturgy of life skills it has endowed me.
One of my favourite theatrical experiences is performing in community theatre with my cousin, Zac, who lives with down syndrome. We both love the stage, yet there are markedly fewer opportunities for him. In founding Stars and the Moon, my dream was to create a theatrical experience that allows performers like Zac and myself to share the spotlight, shining equally on stage, as bright as the stars and the moon.
