MAINSTAGE SHOW

Something Happened in Our Town

​

Audition Information

January 6-7, 2025 from 4:30-6:30 pm

First Presbyterian Church/Theatre, 300 W. Wayne St, Fort Wayne, IN 46802

​

Friendships challenged, a world changed, and two young people trying to make sense of it together. Neighbors Josh and Emma are best friends. But something has happened in their town. When a Black man is killed by a police officer, Emma and Josh have questions—real questions that deserve real answers. With so much going on, the two don’t know how to keep their friendship from being pulled apart. Layered with compassion and humor, this play invites you into the living rooms of these two families (one Black and one White) as they wrestle with how to help their children make sense of what happened. Playwright Cheryl D. West invites you to walk alongside Josh and Emma as they confront uncertainty within their own town and seek to plant the seeds of change in their community.

​

Youtheatre highly encourages review of the perusal script prior to auditions.

Dragons Love Tacos​

Audition Information

March 3-4, 2025 from 4:30-6:30 pm

Auer Center ArtsLab, 300 E. Main St, Fort Wayne, IN 46802

​

Youtheatre and the Allen County Public Library team up again for more Stories from the Stacks: Theatre for Young Readers. Aimed at Pre-K through 3rd Graders (but with plenty to enjoy for all ages), this year's selection is Adam Rubin's best-seller, Dragons Love Tacos. You know what Dragons REALLY love? Tacos of course! A boy and his dog are watching a TV show about dragons when they unexpectedly get caught up in the "Do's and Don'ts" of what to serve dragons to eat. Dragons love tacos, but if they accidentally eat spicy salsa...watch out! This show is a playfully funny treat for the whole family.​
