Star of the Day is teaming up with folks all over the Valley and the country to bring ‘25 Days of December Traditions’ to you and your family. Many of us look forward to the holiday season to lift our spirits. December is filled with more than decking the halls and eggnog; it’s full of rich lore and traditions from around the world.
Starting December 1st, we’ll introduce a new video exploring traditions from our Star of the Day friends & families to yours; there will be history lessons, cooking demonstrations, dramatic readings of children’s books, folklore, and more. We’ll discuss Christmas, Hanukkah, Festivus, Yule, and everything in between and beyond.
We hope that you’ll head over to our YouTUBE channel (StaroftheDayEP)
to join us each evening at 7PM from December 1st through December 25th.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE

Covid-19 has turned the arts industry upside down. We have been forced to cancel shows, workshops, and summer camp. As a result, arts organizations across the country are in immediate danger of closing their doors for goods. We hope that Star of the Day will not be a Covid-19 statistic. Please consider making a donation in our future here in the Lehigh Valley.

ANNOUNCING OUR
2020
VIRTUAL SEASON
A Holiday Humbug is a 'sweet' take on Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Peppermint Falls used to be the place to get all your Christmas confections until Queen Cupcake came to town. She is feared by all and doesn't have a joyous bone in her body. This original story will allow the students to create their own take on these original characters. They'll learn both original music written for the show and traditional Christmas Carols. They'll even get to design their own costumes.
Our Musical Theatre Workshop class has worked hard to put together this high spirited original holiday musical.
Performance is Sunday, December 20, 2020 7PM
Free to watch but donations are greatly appreciated to help us continue our online programming during this pandemic. DONATE HERE
