The Missoula Children’s Theatre presents Sleeping Beauty, an original adaptation of the classic fairy tale. A new princess is born, and from far and wide the people of the kingdom gather to celebrate. One simple mistake is made-an invitation is misplaced-and the wrath of the vicious Scarella falls upon the poor infant in the form of a spell. Sleeping Beauty is now destined to sleep for eternity if she should prick her finger on a spindle before she reaches her sixteenth birthday. Sleeping Beauty’s Fairy Godmothers do their best to amend the spell, but Scarella, with the help of some nasty Trolls, tricks Sleeping Beauty into pricking her finger and the spell takes effect. Five hundred years pass and Sleeping Beauty wakes to find herself in a Rock ‘n Roll dream! Also featured in this production are the King and the Queen, Spot, the Fairies, the Palace Attendants, and the Caterpillars. This is sure to be a Rock ‘n Roll Fable for the ages! Each year, Missoula Children’s Theatre drives a little red truck all the way from Montana to the Schauer Center. Two professional MCT tour actor/directors hold public auditions, casting local school-age children in an hour-long original musical. The cast rehearses for a week and then performs a fully staged and costumed show.
Audition Information: Pre-registration for the audition is recommended. The audition begins promptly at 10:00am and no late arrivals are allowed. The group-style audition will last 90-120 minutes, facilitated by the Missoula staff members and students must participate for the full duration. Parents/caregivers are welcome to observe the audition. Casting will be announced immediately following the audition. Auditionees should bring a bag lunch, so they are able to begin rehearsing that afternoon if they are cast in the show.
Rehearsals: Following the audition and casting on Monday, an exact rehearsal schedule for each participant will be distributed. The possible rehearsal time frames that your child may be required to attend are Monday 12:15 - 2:15 pm; Tuesday - Friday 10:00 - 12:00 pm and 12:15 - 2:15 pm. Students cast in the show must be available for all rehearsals and performances—no exceptions.
Performances: Friday, August 16, 7:00 pm | Saturday, August 17, 2:00 pm
