When a Missoula Children’s Theatre tour team comes to a school or community, it arrives with a set, lights, costumes, props and makeup — everything it takes to put on a play except the cast.
“The team holds an open audition and casts 50 to 60 local students to perform in the production,” the theater known as MCT said in a news release.
“The show is rehearsed throughout the week, and two public performances are presented,” the theater said.
“All MCT shows are original adaptations of classic children’s stories and fairy tales . . . a twist on the classic stories that you know and love.”
MCT of Missoula “has been touring extensively for more than 40 years from Montana to Japan and will visit nearly 1,200 communities this year with up to 44 teams of tour actor/directors,” the theater group said.
