Here's more about the Vienna Youth Players, from the Town of Vienna Web site:

Vienna Youth Players, formed in 1993, is a wonderful theater experience for the youth of our community. The Town of Vienna's Department of Parks and Recreation sponsors The Vienna Youth Players every year in a summer musical production for ages 13 to 18.

Past shows include “How to Eat Like a Child,” “Into The Woods,” “Runaways,” “The Sound of Music," “Seussical,” “13 the Musical” and many others. Cast size is usually 35 to 45 with a summer of fun for as many junior thespians as space will allow.
