Northern Starz Center for Performing Arts A nonprofit center for the performing arts in Ramsey, MN. Theatre, voice, piano, guitar, music, and Northern Starz began in 2010 as an educational theater.

Our mission is to partner with community and families to provide innovative and diverse quality performing arts education. Our Core Values
Arts Education, Inclusive Relationships, Enjoyable Experiences, New Adventures

Our Vision Statement
Bringing vibrant cultural experiences to all families within the North Metro community. If you've wondered about Northern Starz in Ramsey, our roots were with an informal organization within district 11 community education that was designed to bring the theater experience to young students in the north suburban area of the Twin Cities who had a desire to learn about theater (or who perhaps just wanted to be in a play). In 2012 the informal organization producing the advanced shows was organized into what is now known as Northern Starz Theatre. Since then Northern Starz has produced over 50 shows, and is currently in rehearsals for K-12th grade shows and classes, Adult Shows, 55+ performances and classes, a creative dance center, voice-piano-guitar-instrument lessons, Summer sleep-away theatre camp, and our summer Penguin Project Show that features Students with Disabilities performing along mentors. We also have a newly renovated event center!!

His recent credits also include Shylock in Something Rotten! and Rabbi Praver, Mike, and Chris in 26 Pebbles, both with Northern Starz.

Ethan sends a special thank you to his parents, friends, and family for their continued support, his incredible cast and crew for making the journey memorable, and his sister Ellie for letting him rebuild her Lego set that one time!

ACTOR SPOTLIGHT: TARA

Meet Tara, taking on the powerful role of Deputy Governor Danforth in The Crucible!

Tara is thrilled to return to Northern Starz and Sugar Throw Theatre! Her previous credits include Joan in Watermelon Hill (2023), Assassins (2024), Once Upon a Pine (2024), and Magical Athlete: Stadium Showdown (2026).
