58 Students were cast at auditions at the Moscow High School Auditorium Monday, Feb. 28th at 4:00.
96 students participated in the audition. The audition was set up as a free theatre workshop, so even the students that weren’t cast in the show learned stage craft from the Missoula Children’s Theatre directors, Alea Figueroa and Rob Yoho. It was a wonderful time!

Festival Dance and Performing Arts brings Missoula Children’s Theatre to Moscow every year as part of their Youthreach programs that promote the performing arts and touch the lives of 5,000 students annually. Festival Dance’s Youthreach programs focus on cultural diversity, accessibility to the arts, nurturing local talent, community involvement and artistic excellence.
Alea and Rob arrived in Moscow Sunday evening with a set, lights, costumes, props and make-up, everything it takes to put on a play. They will be staying at the home of Patricia Nelson, who is a retired 2nd grade Moscow school teacher.
“As a retired teacher, I think it’s great that Festival Dance brings in the Missoula Children’s Theatre to provide a free theatre experience to local children, so I help out any way I can. Opening my home to the directors is a way for me to do my part,” says Patricia Nelson.
Alea and Rob rehearse the 58 students throughout the week for the 2 performances on Saturday, March 5th at 3:00 and 7:00. Ticket prices for the Saturday show are: adults $6, children & students $4 and can be purchased at the door or at Bookpeople in Moscow. All MCT shows are original adaptations of classic children’s stories and fairytales.
Also included in the residency are three enrichment workshops presented by the Tour Actor/Directors. These will take place in classrooms in Troy, and Moscow. Creativity, social skills, goal achievement, communication skills and self-esteem are all characteristics that are attained through the participation in this unique, educational project.
The Missoula Children's Theatre (MCT), the nation’s largest touring children’s theatre, has been touring extensively for 35 years now from Montana to Japan, and will visit nearly 1,300 communities this year with 47 teams of Tour Actor/Directors.
