Childrens' Theatre Auditions: The Wizard of Oz

Stray Pups Youth Theatre is a distinctive professional arts experience where the child is the star on stage performing for their friends, family, and community.
This is a unique opportunity for Saint Louis area students (ages 7-18) who will perform in professional theatrical productions. Starting with the audition process through the final curtain call, our students take center stage, mastering all the skills of seasoned performers.  Cast members will work with industry professionals, learning everything it takes to put on a full-scale production.
