Mission
StarStruck Theatre is a non-profit organization whose mission is to enrich the lives of youth and our community by providing theatre arts education, performance opportunities, and musical productions of uncompromising quality.
History
StarStruck Musical Theater was created in 1995 by Lori Stokes a resident of Fremont, CA, who hoped to form a local theater for neighborhood children. It was originally named Kids On Broadway, and first performed at the Fremont Education Foundation's Fundraiser luncheon at Castlewood Country Club, with twelve local children ranging in age from seven to twelve years old.
For the first 6 years, Kids On Broadway performed to sold out audiences at the local Broadway West Theatre Company.  In the year 2000 it became a 501 [c] 3 non-profit theatre and changed its name to StarStruck Musical Theatre.  It soon outgrew the Broadway West theatre. After performing a few shows at Mission San Jose High School, Lori Stokes took the big step and booked the Ohlone College Smith Center to produce her winter show. It was Honk!, and it had overwhelming success! Since then, she has gone on to produce and direct two shows each year. The winter show is indoors at the Jackson Theatre and the summer show is performed outdoors in the Amphitheatre. Her recent shows have included: CATS, Les Misérables, The Music Man, Wizard of Oz and Annie. This year in the summer 2011 season, she will be producing Guys and Dolls.
