HOW IT WORKS
A professional tour team arrives on Monday with sets, costumes, props, and scripts…everything it takes to put on a play…except a cast. Children from Twin Falls and surrounding communities are invited to an open audition; about 60 local children, ages pre-school through high-school, are cast. In addition to the on-stage cast, 4 assistant directors are selected to help with all the work that goes on behind the scenes.
The kids rehearse throughout the week, and their efforts culminate in two performances on Saturday.
All MCT shows are original adaptations of classic children’s stories and fairytales…a twist on the classic stories that we all know and love. The impact of this program is far more reaching than the 60 students cast in the show – through theMissoula Children’s Theater Residency program we are able to offer workshops in area schools, affecting up to 2000 local youth. If you are interested in hosting a MCT theater workshop in your school, please contact us!
