Missoula Children’s Theatre to Perform The Frog Prince at Thrasher
Green Lake, Wis. (December 28, 2022) – 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 . . . 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 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 the Frog Prince will be held on Monday, January 16, from 4 to 6 p.m.
Performances will occur on Saturday, January 21, 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 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 from around the world, and the Missoula
Community Theatre, which creates an arena for local talent of all ages to participate in largescale 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 wellknown music, dance, and acting professionals to prepare for college. For information, email
