Shining Stars was started in 2011 in Cranford New Jersey. Shining Stars is a non-profit organization comprised of special needs students in Cranford, who love to act, sing and dance. The group provides a venue for these children to participate in two months of practice and rehearsals in preparation for a night of true entertainment. Our goal is to raise awareness, and to enhance the loves of these amazing, talented children, a venue of their own to truly shine, which isn't always possible within a mainstream setting. We focus on inclusion and encourage all our participants to invite friends and family to join.
