Ask any performer about the moment everything changed, and they’ll tell you about their first stage. Not the biggest one. The first one.
Star is Born gives kids and teens that moment, in a fun, positive, and uplifting atmosphere on the Sanur beachfront. Whether they sing, dance, act, play, or tell stories, this is where young talent finds its natural path.
Solo star or part of a group, every child leaves with a certificate, a memory, and a little more belief in themselves.

Star is Born is brand new, and that is exactly the point. Your child joins the very first cast of a stage built by a team Sanur families already know.
From the people behind Turtle Release, Live BBQ, and Little Genius family days at Genius Cafe on Mertasari Beach.
Every performer at the first edition earns a certificate from the original Star is Born. When this stage grows, they were here first.
Professional judges score every act on clear criteria, and confidence is a category in its own right. Every child is celebrated.

My child has never performed before. Is this for them?
Especially for them. Star is Born is built as a fun, positive, uplifting first stage: an intimate audience of 20–30 families, encouraging judges, and confidence as a scoring criterion in its own right. Every performer receives a certificate, whatever the result.

Singing, dancing, acting, public speaking, storytelling, or a musical instrument. Solo, or in a group of 2–8. Two age categories: Kids (5–10) and Teens (11–16).
The stage sits within Genius Cafe’s covered beachfront area, so the show goes on rain or shine. If conditions ever force a change, every reserved family is contacted directly with options.
