S.T.A.R.S. actors wow crowd with Christmas show
Children donned intricate costumes and regaled their peers and
adults alike with two Christmas performances that emphasized the
joy of the holiday season in Howard Beach last week.
The youngsters, members of the S.T.A.R.S Youth Center in Howard
Beach, sang and danced their way into onlookers’ hearts during the
two plays, “Alfie and the Christmas Tree” and “The Legend of Old
Befana.”
The actors and actresses held a dress rehearsal on Saturday and a
final performance on Sunday at the Ave Maria Academy School Hall,
located at 158-20 101st Ave.
All proceeds from the production were donated to Ave Maria.
