Youth Residents See-a closer look at community

In partnership with the St. Louis Housing Authority, The Black Rep proposes to engage 125 youth residents of five public housing developments in St. Louis City in an after-school performing arts residency program. Participants will have the opportunity to research, create and present a community issue through theatre. At the conclusion of each residency, youth will perform at each of the five sites a culminating production that they have created about a relevant community issue. Each performance will be evaluated and those students that stand out for excellance will be remounted at a larger public venue such as the Black rep's home theatre, The Grandel.
