FAQ
1
Where are you located?
Starr Youth Theatre (SYT) operates in & around Lincoln, NE.
While we don't have a home of our own at this time - we have partnered with local Lincoln businesses such as Sower Books, Starstruck Dance Academy, & the Bay for the use of their space.
Each of our offerings should clearly state where your program will be located - but feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions.
We hope to have a space of our own in the near future!
