Honoring Star Alliance

Actors’ Playhouse is thrilled to be honoring Star Alliance at our 28th Annual Reach For The Stars Gala Auction. Our organization is grateful for the many years of friendship and support from our good friends at Star Alliance, especially the many airlines sponsoring our gala auctions year after year. We are privileged to share in a strong and viable business partnership with Star Alliance, which allows us to continue providing great quality of life cultural experiences to our residents and to the vast tourism industry in South Florida.

Five airlines created Star Alliance as the first global aviation alliance in 1997. Dedicated to innovation and excellent customer service and a track record of success, it’s no wonder that today Star Alliance has 28 member airlines. Through the generosity of so many of Star Alliances affiliates, theatre patrons have enjoyed traveling around the world receiving excellent and friendly service, each airline offering their own distinctive cultural identity. Tonight it is a sincere pleasure for Actors’ Playhouse to honor Star Alliance for their outstanding service to the community and for their continued amazing support of Actors’ Playhouse at The Miracle Theatre.

Past Honorees: Former Mayor Donald Slesnick and Commissioner Jeannett Slesnick; Former Mayor Dorothy Thomson and Jack Thomson; InterContinental Hotel Miami and general manager Robert Hill; Lexus of Kendall and Lexus of West Kendall and owner Lorraine Bean and president Christopher Roberts
