The STC OnTour production is a unique experience designed to accomplish three things:
1. Rehearse & perform a tourable, one-act play.
2. Bring the play to places like after-school programs and the Ames Public Library, where audience members may not otherwise experience much theater.
3. Individual actor coaching on short scenes/monologues/etc, for the growth of each actor and to be performed in a showcase with the one-act at STC’s Black Box at the end of the tour.
 
Shrek The Musical JR: Rehearsals begin mid-April. (Mon./Wed. from 4:00-6:00 and Sat. from 10-Noon. Weekday afternoons after June 5.) Cast size of about 35. Performances June 18-27 at Ames City Auditorium. Read more here!
