TICKETS

Because we do not want ticket cost to be a barrier to our show, we are leaving it up to each patron to choose a ticket price that is a good fit for you.

This program is funded in part by:

  • Local option tax funds provided by the City of Ames through the Commission on the Arts (COTA)
  • Iowa Arts Council – a division of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs
  • National Endowment for the Arts
  • Story County Community Foundation

Story Theater Company’s annual teen show, for ages 13-18, is an intensive experience where the participants form a theater company to create a production. With the guidance of an adult director and two design mentors, the teens not only act in the show, but are also responsible for all sets, costumes, props, lights, dramaturgy, music, and stage management.
