AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO OUR PATRONS

On March 24, 2021, we sent out an email to our Star of the Day community announcing our 10th Birthday Celebration plans. It appears there was a glitch with our software as the email arrived a bit jumbled. Please accept our sincerest apologies as we work with our software company to fix the problem.

Dear Star of the Day Community,

This April marks the 10th anniversary of Star of the Day’s founding. What started out as singing telegrams and evening cabarets has grown into a family of artists committed to entertaining, educating, and elevating our community. 


It is no secret that 2020 was challenging for arts institutions. Star of the Day was no exception. However, even during the midst of this crisis, we found new ways to perform and educate while keeping our communities safe. And with the light at the end of the tunnel, we are so excited to see what this anniversary year will bring. 

Starting April 1st, Star of the Day will be launching our 10th Anniversary celebration online, culminating in a live, outdoor performance on our birthday, April 11th. We will be celebrating 10 years of special moments with our Star of the Day family. 

We hope you will consider commemorating a decade of Star of the Day by donating today.

A generous anonymous donor has pledged matching funds if our community raises $1,000 by April 11th. By donating today, you are extending your gift even further. 

Star of the Day has become a special place for so many in the Lehigh Valley. We are honored that so many performers, children, and families are a part of the Star of the Day community. It has been an incredible 10 years, and we cannot wait to see where the next 10 years will take this little company that could. 

Sincerely, 
Kirsten Almeida 
Managing Artistic Director
