12/30/23 Jack and the Beanstalk Auditions at Thrasher
30 December 2023 News
Green Lake, Wis. – The Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT), the nation’s largest touring children’s theatre, has been touring extensively for more than 40 years now from Montana to Japan and will visit nearly 1,200 communities this year with up to 44 teams of Tour Actor/Directors. A tour team arrives in each town with a set, lights, costumes, props, make-up, and everything it takes to put on a play…except the cast. The team holds an open audition and casts 50-60 local students to perform in the production. The show is rehearsed throughout the week, and two public performances are presented on Saturday. All MCT shows are original adaptations of classic children’s stories and fairytales, with a twist on the classic stories 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 attained through participation in this unique educational project. MCT’s mission is the development of life skills in children through participation in the performing arts.
Auditions for Jack and the Beanstalk will be held on Monday, January 15, from 4 to 6 p.m. The performances will take place on Saturday, January 20, at 3:00 & 5:30 p.m. Tickets for adults are $15, and children are $10 and available at www.thrasheroperahouse.com. The Missoula Children’s Theatre residency in Green Lake is brought to you by Thrasher Opera House Party for the Arts sponsors with support from Adams Rib, Taylor & Associates, Bayview Motel & Marina, Green Lake Rotary, and Bergstrom Automotive????
The Missoula Children’s Theatre is based in Missoula, Montana, and runs many local programs. These include musical theatre day camps and performing arts classes for local children, a summer residency Performing Arts Camp for students worldwide, and the Missoula Community Theatre, which creates an arena for local talent of all ages to participate in large-scale productions and attracts audiences from western Montana. For students interested in a career in the performing arts, MCT has developed Next Step Prep—The Academy for Musical Theatre—providing high school students an affordable opportunity to train and study with well-known music, dance, and acting professionals to prepare for college.
