Shining Star & American Theatre of Actors, Inc.
Shining Star Productions was founded by playwright and director Anne L. Thompson-Scretching. Shining Star's mission is to use the art of drama to manipulate feelings that make people want to laugh, cry, change their thought process or affirm their beliefs. To see themselves as others view them. To display everyday life, its struggles and past histories of a people long gone and events yet to come. Drama is the voice of the people, their communities, its ills and societies as a whole, it's how we play, work, live and die together.
American Theatre of Actors, Inc. (ATA) was founded in 1976 by James Jennings to promote the development of new playwrights, directors and actors, and to provide them a creative atmosphere in which to work. The plays are dramas, comedies, and hybrids, dealing with the social and ethical problems of contemporary society.
12,000 actors have worked at ATA including Dennis Quaid, Bruce Willis, Dan Lauria, Chazz Palminteri, Danny Aielo, David Morse, Edie Falco and Kathryn Hahn. Our productions are sometimes grouped as 'festivals,' such as a Playwrights Festival or a Directors Festival. In 2016 we began an initiative to feature women in theatre as directors and playwrights, today this is our WIT! (Women in Theatre) program.
