Stars 'R' Us Theater Troupe started out a small community theater company created in Fairfield West area of Huntington, WV. They aim to broaden, strengthen, and enrich the theater experience in our home state of West Virginia and surrounding areas. As a troupe they strive to enhance the reputation of African-American theater in an area where our youth and young adults are faced with challenges, little art and culture, and a lack of positive community involvement. Through the theater they hope to create a community of people who empower each other to make constructive life choices, all while providing an empowering experience of theater arts.
