Missoula Children’s Theatre production is part of a unique international touring project presented locally each year by the Arts Commission. Under the direction of two MCT Actor/Directors, the production is staged and performed entirely by O’Fallon area children whose ages range from kindergarten through twelfth grade. This theatrical camp starts with an audition and daily rehearsals on Monday, culminating in two performances on Friday and Saturday.
Past productions include Red Riding Hood, Hansel & Gretel, Snow White, Frog Prince, Tales of Hans Christian Anderson, Robin Hood, and The Little Mermaid.

It is a group audition: no experience and no advance preparation is necessary but a SMILE helps! Just be ready to come & have a good time! Rehearsals conducted everyday from 4pm-8:30pm at Cavins or OTHS Auditorium---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 all rehearsals required for their role. The first rehearsal for some (older) characters begins approximately 30 minutes after the auditions are concluded. A detailed rehearsal schedule is distributed at the conclusion of auditions. All those cast
must be available for all scheduled rehearsals and performances (See show info above). Parents, teachers & public may watch the rehearsals although it may be fun for kids to surprise the audience at the performance!
No cameras or taping allowed during performances. A photo session is scheduled after each performance for audience to take photos. Videotaping allowed during dress rehearsal. Professional videos & DVD's of the performance sold with advance payment. T-shirts also available for sale.
Workshops & assemblies available during the residency at your school: call for more info!
