The STAR Festival, hosted by the Theatrical Arts Education Association (TAEA), celebrates student achievement and fosters learning, leadership, and opportunity in the theatrical arts. Meadowridge School is proud to be a Theatrical Arts Guild member (TAG #2026), offering our students pathways to workshops, mentorship, national recognition, and post-secondary scholarships. This year, over $300,000 in scholarships were awarded to outstanding performers.
Throughout the festival, students showed professionalism, creativity, and courage—qualities that left a lasting impression on audiences, adjudicators, and fellow participants. We celebrate their willingness to take risks, support each other, and represent our school with pride just as much as the awards themselves.
Thank you to all the families, staff, and mentors whose encouragement and support made this journey possible. Your belief in the arts empowers our students to strive for excellence and share their voices with the world.
