A St. John’s theatre is hoping to fill a local gap for budding teenage thespians.

The Majestic Theatre launched its new Young People’s Company at their refurbished downtown location Wednesday afternoon.

They’re looking to hire youth for summer jobs, dabbling in everything from acting to tech positions and even box office management.

The age range for now is 16-23, with casting details set to appear on the Majestic socials next week.

That will be followed by employment offers for the summer.

Managing director Krysta Rudofsky and artistic director Dan Lasby were on hand for yesterday’s launch.

Lasby couldn’t say enough about the opportunity this presents for youth, adding that getting involved was a no-brainer for him.

“We have a couple of companies that do a really good job with the younger group, and then we have a couple of companies that are really great for those continuing on in their artistic life, but there’s a bit of a gap there,” he said, noting the Majestic Theatre has been developing the program over the last year.

“Krysta said, ‘We have this great space that we can offer, we have these resources we can support this with, would you be interested in coming along and helping me on this journey?’ and I said for sure.”

The Majestic hopes to support the program through ticket sales alone to the eventual performances.
