"We're a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world of our own..."

Founded in September 2007, Shooting Star Theatrics, Inc. (formerly Shooting Star Theatre Company) is a non-profit Hamilton theatre company that is working to bring quality, Broadway-style shows to our community at an affordable ticket price. Shooting Star's shows have included everything from musical favourites, to interactive murder mysteries, to hidden Broadway gems that have been loved by audiences of all ages.
We continuously strive to raise the bar for community theatres everywhere and
look forward to bringing entertainment to the Hamilton area for years to come!


How did Shooting Star come to be?


On September 25, 2007, 17 year old Elisa Sorbara decided to pursue her passion
and create her own theatre company. Despite having an incurable physical
disability and being a full-time high school student, she could not resist the urge to
begin producing full-scale musicals in a community setting. She chose the musical
"The Boy Friend" by Sandy Wilson and, against all odds, in August of 2008
Shooting Star's first musical successfully hit the stage. Audience satisfaction and
media attention for the production greatly succeeded all expectations. Elisa found
that producing the musical was a great distraction from the pain caused by her
disability, as well as a wonderful way to work doing what she is most passionate
about. Now as the company enters its fifth season, Elisa is still managing and
producing musicals with Shooting Star and couldn't be happier about how far the
company has come. She is very grateful to the Hamilton community for their abundant
support in helping her transform Shooting Star from just a dream into a successful
theatre company with a future that's as bright as the brightest star!
