Thanks to the dozens of people who came out and supported Starlight Productions at the premiere of our first feature film, Light! It was great to get most of the cast reunited and see the reactions from people all across Southwest Florida as the images played out on screen. If you were one of the few who missed the premiere, check out the great photos John Fernandez took of the event!
The time has finally come! We are proud to announce that Light will be coming to a film screen in Fort Myers, on Monday, August 8, 2011.
This past week, Starlight Productions was contacted by Eric Raddatz of the Fort Myers Film Festival about bringing “Light” to the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center as part of the Film Festival’s popular Summer Intellectualization Mondays.
Mark your calendars for Monday, August 8, 2011, at 6:30pm. Writer/Director Marty Wisher will be joined by Cinematographer & Special Effects Guru Tim Gunderman, along with the movie’s stars: Danny Rawley, Christian Kilian, Mitch Jacobs, and Keegan Shayne, as well as most of the cast at this special premiere.

Starlight Productions is proud to present another one of our original murder mysteries, “A Death in the Family,” this Saturday, August 14th at 7:30pm at Nirvana Indian Fusion off College Parkway.
Along with the usual suspects, we will be introducing audiences to two new actors in the Starlight stable, Kathleen Baldini as the dutiful daughter Mimi and Gary Obeldobel as the family’s faithful pettifogger Hodgson.
And it wouldn’t be dinner theatre without the dinner! The chef at Nirvana
will be providing a buffet of choice Indian fusion foods for your enjoyment. At $40.00 per person, it’s the most affordable dinner and live show in Souhwest Florida, and the entertainment is second to none.
Come join us and play detective and you might just go home with the prize! We’ll see you all there!
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.
2009 Holiday Cast
Then, on Thursday, December 10th, Jenny Sonneman, Caleb Williams and John Nicolette joined Paul A. 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.
Bo Peep Entertains
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.
Please take a moment to enjoy the gallery, which includes many photos of the various events we participated in! (FamJam & Compassion Party photos courtesy of Reverend Dennis Gingerich of Cape Christian Fellowship.)
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!

Prest hits the pool
From Director Marty Wisher: What a blast this weekend has been. We spent two full days filming the teen pool party scene. The kids were awesome. The weather was a tad cooler than we’re used to. But they were troopers about removing their jackets before the cameras started rolling.
Big kudos to Seth Billig (who plays Prest) for his willingness to be “knocked” into the pool (An icy 50-55 degrees). Of course, we had several takes. And I think the kids got a kick out of just hanging out after the filming. Munching, video games, and shooting archery with Ray.
Thanks to Sue Rawley for the majority of the photos – shot in “Sports Mode,” so we got all the action!
Marty Explaining a Scene
Well, another very productive day of shooting down. Only a couple more scenes to go and we’ll be hitting the post-production hard. Only minor hitches today, including a little early morning carpet cleaning we had to work around. Excellent work from all of our teen stars, including the Wisher kids. We’ll pick up the rest of the scenes tomorrow. Enjoy the photos posted below:
