Once again, Missoula Children’s Theatre will visit the Methow Valley! This year’s show is Cinderella. MCT comes to our community through Methow Arts Alliance. It is funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, with local support from the Methow Valley School District, Chewuch Inn, Okanogan County Electric Coop, Winthrop Kiwanis and the Public School Funding Alliance.
Auditions for the show will take place at Methow Valley Elementary on Monday, November 14 at 3:20 pm and are open to all students K-12. Not all students will be cast in parts. Auditioning is free, and there is a $25 residency fee for those cast in the production. Scholarships are available.
The Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT), the nation’s largest touring children’s theatre, has been producing plays and musicals in schools for 38 years. MCT’s mission is the development of life skills in children through participation in the performing arts.
The cast will include more than 50 local students, who will rehearse and perform with two Missoula Children’s Theatre professionals in an intensive, unforgettable week. Rehearsals will be held after school from 3:20-7:50pm on November 14-18. Both performances are on November 19. Not all students will be called for all rehearsals; the bigger the part (and typically the older the child), the more rehearsals.
