Show Synopsis:
The Secret Garden, an original Missoula Children's Theatre rendition, is a joyful retelling of a story of hope and celebration and all good things in life. Mistress Mary Quite Contrary embarks on a journey from India to her uncle's home in England. Along the way she makes friends with the hilarious Canadian Geese and the colorful Giant Bugs that Rock! In time she learns to appreciate everything around her, including the Moor Animals and the helpful Fireflies. Add to that a good healthy dose of caring, and what happens?
Colin, Martha, Archibald - well the whole household - begin to enjoy the return of health and happiness in a garden carefully tended until it blossoms once more.
Commitment: Less than one week: Tue thru Fri 4pm to 8:30pm & Sat 9am to 3pm. See rehearsal schedule (distributed at conclusion of auditions) for required times for role and location each day. Although not all cast members will be needed at every session, those auditioning must have a clear schedule for the entire week and, if selected, be able to attend performances and ALL rehearsals required for their role. The first rehearsal for some (older) characters begins approximately 30 minutes after the auditions are concluded. PLEASE DO NOT AUDITION if you cannot accept a role AND be available for ALL scheduled rehearsals and performances. Parents, teachers & the public may watch the rehearsals although it may be fun for kids to surprise the audience at
the performance! Missoula Children's Theatre is a non-profit organization based in Missoula, Montana. This coming year nearly 50,000 cast members across the globe will take to the stage to the delight and applause of families, friends, neighbors and teachers!
This Missoula Children’s Theatre production is part of a unique international touring project. Presented locally by City of O'Fallon & the Arts Commission with funding support from Quality Inn. For more info, contact Event Chairman Jodi Caticchio at 622-0289 or Parks Department at 624-0139
