AUDITIONS
​
Stray Pups Youth Theatre provides advanced education and rewarding experiences to Saint Louis youth with dedicated interests in performing arts. This program focuses on building rewarding skills while having fun!
In this 4-week rehearsal process, children (ages 10-18) will learn, rehearse, and perform a one-act play. The program will conclude with 3 performances.
This play brings to life the haunting works of Edgar Allan Poe. It weaves together his renowned stories—“The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Black Cat,” “The Raven,” “Annabel Lee,” “The Fall of the House of Usher,” “The Premature Burial,” and “The Poetic Principle”—to illuminate the many gloomy moments from Poe’s life.
The students will have the opportunity to work directly with the professional cast and crew of “Nevermore,” which is MainStage production performing during October and November. Join our pack by auditioning for this eerie production and discover a blend of education in performance, history, and literature!
