Thursday: 4-8:15 PM

Friday: 4-8:15 PM

Saturday: 2-7:15 PM (Performances will be at 3 PM and 5:30 PM at Ella Baker)

**actual schedule will be provided immediately after auditions and is dependent on role; kindergarteners and younger students typically have smaller roles, rehearse only for the first two hours of each day, and do not rehearse on Tuesday. There is a dinner break after the first two hours of each session.**

AUDITIONS

Please plan to be at school at 6pm on Monday March 23rd after auditions, either to pickup your student or confirm that they need to stay an additional two hours to rehearse (dependent on part).

All registered students are guaranteed a part. However, students do not get to choose their part. Parts are selected by MCT Tour Directors. Please help us make this process go as smoothy as possible by talking to your student about this process and setting expectations. Although they might not get the part they want, they will most likely still have a great time!

SCHOLARSHIPS

Financial need scholarships are available. Please email Melissa Foss (mfoss@lwsd.org) for information.

SHOW SYNOPSIS:

Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother’s house she goes. Red Riding Hood, not so little anymore, and her pre-teen pals try to stay on the straight and narrow in the latest adventure from the Missoula Children's Theatre, RED RIDING HOOD. The Big Bad Wolf, who is not so bad after all, and a friendly neighborhood Forest Ranger urge our heroes to stay true to the path, for in the Shadows lurk diversions and a sinister surprise or two. A pack of woefully nasty young wolves and a handsome Woodsman, too good to be true, are a must for our story. And we can’t have a wolf tale without Three Little Pigs and even a Boy Who Cries…you guessed it. With help from her family and a loyal young Locksmith (he carries the key), Red finds her Grandma and a whole lot more. Now if only she could retrieve her picnic basket from those rascally Raccoons. Life is no picnic when you stray from the trail!
