Youth Theatre

Calling All Budding Actors & Actresses!

Has your child been bit by the acting bug?  Do they wonder how people can "act" like that on the stage, TV or in the movies?  Why not let them experience the thrill of opening night and the adrenaline of walking on the stage for the first time and bringing down the house.  Check out the productions below, along with our very own acting lessons, and come watch your child shine, and bring the family!  The J has three unique programs for children based on age and talent. 


Youth Theatre is now available for online registration!  Simply click the link under the program of your choice and it will take you to our online registration system!


For more information, questions or concerns, please contact John Wolbers, Youth Theatre Coordinator, at 314-442-3239.
We hope to see you in the spotlight!
