FESTIVAL OF NEW STUDENT WORKS
Each spring, The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis will produce the Story 2 Stage Festival of New Student Works, with professional actors and directors from the St. Louis area collaborating with student writers to bring their work to life!
Plays for the festival will be selected through a submission process that is open to all students 18 and under currently registered in a K-12 learning program. The deadline for submissions for the 2024 festival is February 1, 2024.
Once plays are selected for production, student writers will have the opportunity to attend a Mentor Day, where they will get to work with professional writers to hone their plays ahead of rehearsals. They will also be able to attend a rehearsal of their play, and the final performance. Interested in submitting a play? Keep scrolling to find out how!
