Once upon a time, in the beautiful state of Massachusetts, often known as MA, nestled between the brilliantly lit up city of Boston and the rolling Berkshire Mountains, lived an army of young, vibrant, ever-excited, camera-slinging warriors. They were not your regular kids. No, they were the ace photographers of MA, the tiny heroes with large lenses, capturing the world one click at a time. These kids were students by day and photographers by the twilight hour, led by their eccentric, funny, and cookie-loving captain, Sir Snap-a-Lot. Sir Snap-a-Lot wasn't your average adult. He had a wildly unkempt beard, round glasses, and always wore a hat with a quirky feather sticking out, which, according to him, tickled his creativity awake. These young shutterbugs loved nothing more than exploring their picture-perfect state, from the candy-cane striped lighthouses on Cape Cod to the crimson and gold foliage in the fall. They'd venture into the heart of Boston, capturing the hustle and bustle of the city, or sometimes, they'd find themselves in Salem, on the lookout for a ghost or two to snap a spectral selfie. Every photograph they took was an adventure, a story, a memory. Whether they visited the friendly seals at the New England Aquarium or caught the sunrise atop Mount Greylock, their cameras were their trusty companions. And, oh, the laughter and jokes they shared under the guidance of Sir Snap-a-Lot, these moments were as precious as the photographs they captured. In the end, they weren't just brilliant photographers; they were a gang of friends, exploring their state and making memories, one snapshot at a time.

It all started on October 31, 1975, when Jim and I held the first Starlight Stage Youth Theatre rehearsal at 2:10 PM. We were both working at Pine Cobble School in Williamtown MA and wanted to create a summer school. We both thought that a summer youth theatre would be a great addition to the school, and we were right! Over the next three summers, Jim and I ran Starlight Stage Youth Theatre as part of the summer school. We had a lot of fun and we made a lot of memories. We also grew the program to include not just middle schoolers, but high schoolers and even college students. Today, the Starlight Stage Youth Theatre continues to be a popular summer program. It all began 45 years ago in Williamtown MA, and we’re proud that we were able to bring this program to life.
