Jane Albee and Frank Layden started Local Starz in 2003 in response to requests from local theatre owners to provide a program that promoted strictly local businesses and events, and was appealing to both patrons and advertisers alike.  Local Starz features an onscreen preshow program that allows local businesses to take advantage of the captive, targeted market in a very affordable way.

Our mission is to promote local business to local patrons.  Most of our advertisers are small businesses, with limited advertising budgets.  We work to maximize the effectiveness of that budget.

Jane has owned her own business for more than 20 years, each of which has been focused on finding solutions that work for her clients. Frank has managed theaters, hotels, schools, and introduced technology to each of those situations.  Together with their support staff, they can put your business "on the screen!"
