Missoula Children’s Theatre, the nation’s largest touring children’s theatre, has been touring extensively for more than 50 years now from Montana to Japan, and will visit nearly 1,000 communities this year with up to 44 teams of Tour Actor/Directors.
A tour team will arrive at the Fairfield High School Auditorium for the week of July 27-August 1 with a set, lights, costumes, and props, everything it takes to put on a play…except the cast.
The team will hold auditions to assign roles with the 57 pre-registered local students for the production of Beauty Lou and the Country Beast.
The show will be rehearsed throughout the week, and two free public performances will follow on Saturday, August 1 at 3:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
All MCT shows are original adaptations of classic children’s stories and fairytales . . . a twist on the classic stories that you know and love.
Also included in the residency are three enrichment workshops presented by the Tour Actor/Directors. Creativity, social skills, goal achievement, communication skills and self-esteem are all characteristics that are attained through the participation in this unique, educational project.
The public is invited to enjoy these performances free of charge.
