Co-written by Leah Nanako Winkler

Let’s explore the world of Tanabata together!

Crossing Jamaica Avenue (CJA) presents its second “THEATER To Go” piece! A newly created storytelling project filled with audience participation. Enjoy this exciting interactive theatrical experience from your home.

STAR FESTIVAL: Tanabata Story is a 15-minute interactive theatrical experience. This project aims to expand the possibility of online theater. Each audience member participates in the show as a unique constellation, creating an enchanting universe.

We can go anywhere at any time!

Let us know if you are interested in bringing the Star Festival to your classroom, your circle of friends, or a digital party.
*** A PC Zoom account is required for this interactive experience.
*** We will send you a constellation photo and a Zoom link on the day of the show and ask you to change your profile picture to the star image.
*** Please note that the audience will be encouraged to turn their videos on and show their face at one point during the show.
