PREVIOUS YEAR | 2025 – THE PIED PIPER
What do you do when your town is overrun by ravenous rats? You call the Pied Piper! Missoula Children’s Theatre and more than 30 local students took us on a trip to Hamelin Town as they performed an original musical adaptation of the classic tale, THE PIED PIPER.
The local cast featured Pippin Evans as the Pied Piper, Gabby Griffin as Sara, and Xander Petroschek, Chalet Roberts, and Lucy Hurd as the Mayor’s Kids.
Also featured were Hanna Petroschek, Maegan Hyde, Peter Gadd, Jaycee Cary, Lilliana Gonzalez, and Ben Gadd as the Mayor’s Council, and Olivia Garn, Rubeus Arellano, Benedict Evans, Jolene Arellano, Raygan Woodard, Ann Arellano, Ciara Roberts, Oliver Ward, & Edmund Evans as the Cooks. The Hamelin Administrative Team (HAT) was Lucy Hatch, Marley Huntsman, Molly Adams, James Gadd, Analee Chesley, & Amarrah Johnston.
To complete the ensemble, Serena Mortensen, Hudson Garn, Paige Lee, Delilah Arellano, & Caroline Gadd appeared as the Townskids of Hamelin, and Lucas Pola, Mae Mae Garn, Kemry Siebert, & Hazel Holyoak played the troublesome Rats.
Accompanist: Mary Wagoner
Mayor of Hamelin, King of the Rats: Tour Actor/Director Patrick Dougherty
Director: Tour Actor/Director Amanda Halcott
THE PIED PIPER was presented on Saturday, February 15th at the Magic Valley Arts Council Sligar Auditorium.
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!
