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.
