Judges for the finals have careers spanning music, dance, and Broadway. This year's guest judges are:
Audrey Kwong, Artistic Operations Manager for St. Louis Symphony Orchestra; Mike Isaacson, Artistic Director and Executive Producer for The Muny and a Broadway producer; Antonio Douthit-Boyd, Co-Artist Director of Dance for the Center of Creative Arts, and former dancer with both the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and the Dance Theatre of Harlem School; Robbie Montgomery, founder of Sweetie Pie's and former back-up singer for Ike & Tina Turner, The Supremes, and Stevie Wonder; and Josh Harris, music producer, author, and Grammy nominated recording engineer. Students will be judged on technical ability, stage presence, interpretation and originality.
Tony Parise, Broadway actor, dancer, director, choreographer and St. Louis native, returns for his 9th year to write the script and direct the finals. "I can't believe that this is our 9th year!" enthused Parise. "The talent of St. Louis teens never ceases to amaze me, and it is always an honor to help guide them on their path to performing on the Fabulous Fox Stage!" Parise will be working with choreographer Yvonne Meyer Hare (also a St. Louis native) to prepare the final acts to compete in front of a live audience at The Fox. Finalists include a variety of singers, musicians, dancers, acrobats, a juggler, and musical theatre performers.
The FoxPACF reintroduced the St. Louis Teen Talent Competition in 2011 to showcase the St. Louis region's most talented teens in the performing arts. The 2018 winner was Nicaya Wiley, a dancer from Kirkwood High School. Wiley, now a senior, will return for a special performance on April 13th.
