Our Mission: Produce excellent live theatre through ongoing education of actors and directors. The award-winning Starlighters II Theatre celebrated its 45th season in 2019. Starlighters II is dedicated to bringing the best of live theatre to Eastern Iowa. It is a nonprofit theatre organization that produces a wide spectrum of entertainment. Starlighters II was founded in 1974 in Monticello, Iowa, when Ron Ketelsen, a Monticello high school student, saw a need for more opportunities for individuals to participate in live theatre in the Monticello area. He enlisted the support of Bob Furino, a student teacher at the elementary school where he was participating in a job shadowing project. The two teamed up, enlisted a third educator, Emil Prull, with a passion for the theatre, and Starlighters II Theatre was born. Their first production hit the boards in 1975.
During each 12-month season, Starlighters II presents four mainstage productions consisting of dramas, comedies, musicals, and has included revues, variety shows, and children’s theatre. The theatre offers classes on acting and directing, which are aimed at helping those interested in learning those elements of theatre, and preparing them to work in Starlighters II productions.
