STC’s Annual Teen Show – Performing April 4-6, 2025
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. STC’s 2025 Teen Play Festival will feature four one-act plays, each directed by a teen. With the guidance of an adult mentor, all members of the cast will work together with their student director to gather the design elements for their play.
*Content Warning: Our final play, Waiting for the End of the World, contains profanity. Viewer discretion is advised.
