Starlight Theater — Attraction in Waterford Township

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, DO NOT GO HERE!!! When I enrolled my child for Alice In Wonderland JR. I was extremely shocked by the amount of disrespect shown for my little Sammy. My Sammy had told me that she hated going here, And here are the reasons why. : I had gotten reports from her that the theater is extremely filthy with mold. I thought she had just been mistaken of paint or something, But she was correct. It is so dangerous with the amount of MOLD in the backstage and costume room area. I was also shocked when I had went backstage to look for my Sammy's forgotten water bottle, Where I saw the floor was like a beach. It felt like I had been swimming, There was SO MUCH water flooding the backstage area, And I was slipping all over the place. Has to be taken with extreme caution when walking around backstage in the character heels they wear. My Sammy also said that she had been bullied by a group of students, And when she went to tell the Director, He said he'd talk to them. He never did. She reminded him again because the bullying never stopped, And guess what had happened? He didn't speak to them once again. Big shocker. The amount of effort put into this was ridiculous. She came home crying daily about this and the fact that nothing was done about it? Please, If you want your child to not be miserable, Don't take your child here. I am so hurt by how she was treated, And now she doesn't want to participate in any other theatres, because she believes it will always be like this. And it sucks too, Because she was so excited to do theatre, But thanks to Starlight, her passion...

If i could give it no stars I would. There’s so much competition, a lot of the kids are spoiled and entitled. The enviroment is very toxic, and causes kids to have severe mental health issues. The director is the most toxic and predatory person that I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. He degrades, swears, and verbally abuses these kids. He made a very ableist comment to my child who has hearing issues, and she cried for an hour straight. There is way too much drama and competition among the kids, and it is a very unhealthy enviroment to be in. To top it off, this place is DANGEROUS. The backstage area has many loose screws, splinters, and other dangerous items for a children’s theater. The director is a hoarder who refuses to throw anything away, which leads to an unhygenic enviroment. There is mold everywhere as it frequently floods. The director is a money hungry predator who makes children do shows in way too short amount of time, and screams at them when they don’t know their lines. He forces kids to complete entire shows in sometimes under a month, with very little rehearsal time. For the amount of options in the area, NEVER SEND YOUR...

We recently saw a play that our grandson was in, and we were really looking forward to seeing the play. Although the play itself was good, the theater was not. The place has extremely narrow areas for people to move around. It took nearly 10 minutes to walk roughly 50 feet because of congestion just leaving the arena that the play was in. Also, it was very filthy! Major amounts of dust and I don't know what else was on the walls. Huge cobwebs throughout the place. If I were the owner of this theater, I would either have a cleaning company come in and clean, or I would do it myself if money was an issue. The seating was very scary because they were rows of four and they were not bolted to the ground but you didn't realize this until the people in the row behind you had to catch you from falling backwards. Extremely unsafe for everyone, especially children and elderly people who may not have great balance. EXTREMELY...
