Fountain History

The Steadman Family Fountain

Backed by a beautifully landscaped terrace, The Steadman Family Fountain has stood at Starlight Theatre’s West entrance since 1997, when it was donated in honor of longtime Starlight supporters, Martha and Jack Steadman.

The Shirley Bush Helzberg Garden of the Stars Fountain featuring 10 gently falling cascades of water and over a dozen vertical jets, stands at Starlight Theatre’s East gates.  The fountain and garden commemorate Shirley Bush Helzberg and her family, who have graciously supported Starlight for decades.  In 1984, the Helzberg family increased their support by making Helzberg Diamonds the first official sponsor of Starlight Theatre, a tradition that continues to this day.
