Busy Holiday Week

Grandpa Henry & Gordo

Starlight Productions was hopping this week!

Things kicked off on Friday, December 4th, as Starlight Productions’ Paul Rose Jr. and John Nicolette performed two back to back Compassionate Christmas FamJam shows as Grandpa Henry and Gordo at Cape Christian Fellowship.

Then, on Thursday, December 10th, Jenny Sonneman, Caleb Williams

and John Nicolette joined Paul Rose Jr., Teresa Cobb & Marty Wisher “on stage” as we entertained potential new residents at Gulf Coast Village with “A Holiday Recipe for Murder,” written by Marty Wisher.

On Friday, December 11th, we spent a few hours celebrating in Perkins at the United Film & Television Artist (UFTA)’s annual Christmas Party, where Starlight Productions’ own Paul Rose Jr. was elected as President of the UFTA organization for the upcoming year.  Paul plans to work with the Board to make UFTA an even stronger, more relevant organization for members associated with the Television and Film Arts.

On Saturday, December 12th, Paul Rose Jr. and John Nicolette returned to Cape Christian Fellowship, reprising their FamJam roles and performing four shows back to back at Cape Christian Fellowship that were each followed by food and gifts for needy families and kids – one show was just for special needs kids in Cape Coral.

And finally, Saturday evening, the cast of “Holiday Recipe for Murder” was reassembled to perform at a private Christmas party for some of Cape Coral’s prominent citizens.

2009 Holiday Cast

It’s Christmas Time!

It’s that time of year and Starlight Productions still has some dates open for you to book our actors in the laugh-out-loud hilarious Christmas show – “A Holiday Recipe for Murder”

The North Pole is being wiped out by a mysterious flu created by evil mastermind Claude Von Streudel.  As Santa’s top elf Elvin works on a cure to save them, Mrs. Claus depends upon replacements sent from the North Star employment agency to save Christmas and stop Von Streudel’s plan to take over the holiday and the world.

The fun-filled show features the kookiest collection of oddball characters thrust into a Christmas setting and forced to save Christmas and solve a murder.  Don’t miss these holiday hijinks at their funniest!

Light Star on 20/20 Tonight

Christian Kilian, one of the child stars of our soon to be released independent film, Light, was interviewed by ABC News almost a year ago as part of a story on people who suffer from albinism and the tragedy that afflicts albinos in Africa, where they are killed because of a superstition about magical properties in their skin.  Well, the show is finally going to air on ABC’s 20/20, tonight at 10pm, 9pm Central.  Find more details on ABC’s website, and check your local listings for the episode you don’t want to miss!  Light was written and directed by Marty Wisher.

Elvis, Marilyn Entertain at Gulf Coast Village

Marty Wisher as Marilyn Monroe

Starlight Productions provided special entertainment for Gulf Coast Village residents and their guests this week as part of their social calendar.  The retirement lifestyles community hosted a 50’s-style soc hop, complete with a soda stand, classic cars, tunes from the live band, The Magic Moments, and of course, classic celebrity impersonators from Starlight Productions!

Ryan Sharp as Elvis Presley

Marty Wisher once again played Marilyn Monroe at the height of her popularity and Ryan Sharp stepped in to play the young Elvis Presley.  The residents were thrilled with Marilyn and Elvis, getting pictures, chatting with them and dancing with them all afternoon long.

Starlight Productions will return to Gulf Coast Village in December, performing their Christmas murder mystery, A Holiday Recipe for Murder for prospective clients.

What’s Up Cape Coral Chamber?

Paul & Marty host the Awards

Wednesday, June 10th,  Starlight Productions‘ own Paul Rose and Marty Wisher were pleased to host a special presentation at the Cape Coral Chamber of Commerce monthly business luncheon.  The Guest of Honor was the Fort Myers News-Press‘ resident cartoonist Doug MacGregor.  Following Doug’s keynote address, Paul & Marty were called up on stage to present a “Lifetime Achievement Award” to Coco the Palm Tree, mascot for the new website What’s Up Cape Coral, co-sponsored by the Chamber.

Fighting for Attention

Paul & Marty spoofed themselves as ego-driven actors, fighting for the spotlight as they showed clips from the various films that Coco had been a part of, including The Matrix, Titanic, Star Wars and Casablanca.  The whole presentation was the brainchild of Brent Saitta of Saitta Productions, who wrote and edited the special clips of an animated Coco into the various films.  Chamber member Jason Barrett from Da Bomb Entertainment provided the lights and sound system, and Paul Rose scripted the shanigans for the Starlight players.  We’ll be posting a link to the video shot of the event as soon as its available.

Local Musician Tapped for Light Soundtrack

Guy Noegel

Cape Coral singer/songwriter Guy Noegel, also of the bands KYDeity and Skindot, has been recruited by Starlight Productions’ Teresa Cobb to create a soundtrack/score for our almost completed film, Light.  Guy’s bands have a great reputation and have received local radio airplay, but one of his dreams has always been to create music for films.

We’re thrilled to have Guy as part of the Light team, continuing to create an independent film using entirely local (Southwest Florida) assets.

Our hope is to have the movie completed by mid-July.

Starlight & UFTA Entertain at the Hispanic Chamber Event
