Missoula Children's Theatre (MCT) will be attending Carlyle Elementary School once again. For the week of Oct. 22 to the 26 a team of two individuals will be present. These people are professional actor/directors and will be cast parts in a production of, The Wizard of Oz.
MCT provides everything needed to put on a high quality production. They will cast between 50 and 60 students to take part in the performance on Oct. 26. Auditions will be held at Carlyle Elementary School on Oct. 22 at 3:30 p.m., where the students will be cast in their parts.
Rehearsals will last all week where students will learn their lines, songs, and movements on stage. These skills will be learned through four-and-a-half hour practices each day. There are two, two-hour sessions with a half an hour break each day for the students to learn their parts.
In the evening of Oct. 26 the performance will take off. Local youth will star in the full-length production lasting between 60 and 70 minutes.
MCT has been doing shows of this nature for more than 40 years. They continually instill lessons of teamwork and individual success through putting on various productions throughout the year.
With how much hard work and effort the youth put into the production they hope for a large turnout in their support.
Last year's production of "The Tortoise Versus the Hare" went over phenomenally well with youth putting on a performance for nearly 190 individuals.
