    St. Louis Most Talented Teens Take Fox Stage

    by Jaime MowersA handful of talented high school

    students will get a chance to shineon St. Louis most famous stage whenthey bring their acts to the FabulousFox Theatre for the Teen TalentCompetition.

    The fourth annual St. Louis TeenTalent Competition, which will beheld on Friday, April 4, 8 p.m., at theFox, will feature 20 teenagers in 12acts showing off their talents whilevying for thousands of dollars inscholarships, prizes and awards.

    The panel of judges will includelocal performing arts celebrities likeMike Isaacson, executive producerof The Muny. The competitionsproducers liken the contest to that of

    popular TV shows such as AmericanIdol and Americas Got Talent.

    Fox Theatre co-owner Mary Strausssaid she started the Fox Performing

    Arts Charitable Foundation severalyears ago to shine the spotlight onteenagers pursuing the performingarts. In 2011, the foundationreintroduced the competition after a25-year hiatus to showcase the regionsmost talented teens in the performingarts.

    The sports kids got all of theaccolades and you never heard of kidsin the performing arts, said Strauss,who serves as the foundations boardpresident. I wanted to give them an

    opportunity to be in the limelight andperform on the Fox stage, and getawards and scholarships.

    More than $25,000 in scholarships,prizes and awards will be given to thetop competitors on April 4. Finalistswill also have an opportunity toperform at area events throughoutthe year at venues such as The Muny,Shakespeare Festival St. Louis,Webster Groves Art and Air Festival,and others.

    The nalists won the opportunity

    to perform at the Fox by making itthrough the competitions earlier

    rounds. At the start there were 145acts and 192 performers from 78 highschools and seven home schools inthe St. Louis area. The nal 12 acts

    include everything from a hula hooperto singing tap dancers to rappers and

    a classical pianist.It runs the gamut, but thats whats

    really great, Strauss said.Students will be trying to sing,

    dance and play their way into thejudges hearts, and will be scoredon technical ability, stage presence,interpretation and originality. Theyllalso be trying to win over the audience,as there is a $1,000 Audience Choice

    Award available this year.Strauss not only loves watching

    the teenagers perform, but also enjoyshelping them through the process.

    Its very exciting because it showsthe kids the audition process, shesaid. The judges give them positive

    feedback and what to improve on, soits a very positive experience.

    The shows producers also help thenalists put the nishing touches on

    their acts before they step onto the bigstage.

    Our choreographers and producershelp them put it together like aBroadway show, complete with theircostumes and all, Strauss said. Thenthey get to strut their stuff and showSt. Louis what they can do. Its as goodas anything on TV.

    St. Louis University High Schoolsenior Thomas Fields, who willperform his Frank Sinatra/Rat Packact entitled Dressing Room Warm

    Up in the nals, said the experienceof auditioning and working with thecompetitions producers has beenamazing.

    Being able to perform on the Foxstage is crazy enough, but to have themhelp you do it is even more incredible,Fields said. Its all about putting yourbest foot forward, and getting readyfor the audition is a reward in andof itself. Im really, really excited toperform on the Fox stage.

    The St. Louis Teen TalentCompetition is free, but tickets arerequired and available through the

    Fox box ofce at 527 N. Grand Blvd.

    or Metrotix at www.metrotix.com. Allseating is general admission and is ona rst-come, rst-serve basis.

    The Nine Network will broadcast a

    special hour-long program on the 2014Teen Talent Competition on Monday,May 12, at 7 p.m.

    The FoundationThe Teen Talent Competition is

    just one of the events put on by theFox Performing Arts CharitableFoundation. Strauss founded thenonprot organization in 2002 with

    the mission of fostering, promotingand encouraging young people inthe St. Louis region to discover andparticipate in live performances.

    The foundation also hosts KidsNight at the Fox every year where

    children get to see a show for free andparticipate in activities beforehand.

    Its another opportunity for kids

    to go to the Fox for free and anotherevening to show kids about liveperformances, Strauss said.

    The Fox Performing ArtsCharitable Foundation also providesbudding performance artists with anopportunity to take master classeswhere they can learn song and danceroutines from Broadway classics from

    Colangelo is also showing smallerversions of the hurricane storms,

    created as old-style collectiblepostcards, suitable for framingindividually or in groups. They expressdramatic ashes of the artists process

    and narrative, much like one mightsend a postcard with a summation ofan experience or event.

    The exhibit is a staggering visualjourney, combining aesthetic awewith abject terror. With masterfulskill, Colangelo presents a beauty that

    will make the viewer whirl, as in thefury of a storm, while his back-storychallenges awareness and recognitionof human agency.

    This incredibly provocative seriesincludes the eight large prints aswell as a wall full of the spirited smallerprints, happily available at beginningcollector prices. Storms opens withan artist reception at Bruno DavidGallery, 3721 Washington Blvd., on
