Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) is North America’s largest touring theatre for young people. Touring now for over 30 years their mission is the development of life skills through participation in the performing arts. Some of the characteristics attained through participation in this unique and educational MCT residency project are creativity, social skills, goal achievement, communication skills, and self-esteem. A team of two professional actor/directors will arrive in our community at the beginning of the week with a set, costumes, props, and make-up, everything it takes to put on a play, except the cast. The weeklong residency begins with an open group audition on Monday, August 15 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the HCTC First Federal Center and culminates with one or two matinee school performances on Friday and a public evening performance on Saturday. Fifty to sixty students in grades 1 through 12 are cast and well rehearsed throughout the week, learning lines, songs, and choreography to perform as an ensemble in producing a full-length musical. All of MCT shows are original adaptations of children’s stories and fairytales, a twist on the classical stories that you know and love. Rehearsals are scheduled after school every afternoon/evening Monday through Thursday from 4 to 8:30 p.m., with the final dress rehearsal on Friday morning before the matinee school performances. All cast members will need to be excused from school on the Friday of the matinee school performances.
MCT also offers a selection of educational workshops to complement the weeklong residency of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. A complete list with workshop titles and descriptions can be sent upon request. Workshops are available for all grade levels, as well as adults, and most workshops can accommodate up to 60 students; with the exception of the Creative Dramatics workshop for 1st - 2nd grades and the Acting 101 workshop for 9th - 12th grades. These can accommodate up to 30 students in each. The costs of the workshops are $75 each. These can be scheduled at your school during the residency week, on Tuesday - Thursday, August 16 – 18.
