About the Program

S.T.A.R. = Students Take A Role

STAR Council offers any Memphis-area high school student the opportunity to "take a role" in their community, at the Orpheum, and in their theatrical future by learning and volunteering. The program allows students to explore the intersection of theatre and community service, all while developing valuable skills and connecting with their peers.

Monthly Meetings

Students will meet once a month to explore volunteer opportunities, participate in team-building activities, and learn how theatre can serve the community.

Volunteer Service

Students will be required to complete service hours through fun opportunities such as ushering for Broadway musicals, assisting with Kids Night on Broadway, and supporting the High School Musical Theatre Awards.

Guest Speakers

Special guests will speak to students about professional opportunities in the theatrical world.

To participate in STAR Council, students must meet the following criteria:

Attend all monthly meetings (listed below).
Volunteer for at least 3 service opportunities outside of the meetings throughout the year.
Complete at least 1 service opportunity during the month of May for the Orpheum High School Musical Theatre Awards.

Important Note: Missing more than two meetings or completing fewer than the 4 required service opportunities will result in the student being ineligible to return the following year.

Students who fulfill all requirements will be honored as Super STARS at the end of the year for their dedication and service.
