We’re proud to present Starshine!, a unique theater experience developed by Jumping Jack Theater specifically for children (grades K-5) and families with sensory sensitivities. Take a sensory enriched journey through the galaxy. Cozy up in the magic of the sky as you gaze at constellations, dance with asteroids, hear the soothing sounds of space, and even lend a helping hand so that every star can shine its brightest. Stars are unique just like you! Starshine! takes place outdoors and within Jumping Jack Theater’s new mobile storytelling trailer. Jumping Jack Theater will bring you a safe, effortless and sensory-friendly production that will leave you feeling inspired and ready to soar! Seating is strictly limited to one group with a maximum of three people per performance, and each group must include at least one caregiver. All Covid-19 health and safety protocols will be followed. The performers are fully vaccinated and masked for everyone’s safety.

In an enclosed, dim space, one person is sitting in a chair. The room is lit in vibrant blue and green with a lot of lights simulating starlight on the walls. A second person is popping out of a set piece on the far end of the space and extending a glowing orb to the sitting person, who is touching it gingerly with a couple of fingers. Each person is wearing a mask covering their nose and mouth. This is shown from an overhead angle.
