Students wishing to audition should arrive by 10 a.m. and plan to stay for the full two hours. Some of the cast members will be asked to stay for a rehearsal immediately following the auditions. Rehearsals will be held at the Artcraft Theatre, one block south of the Museum. There are roles for students entering first grade through twelfth grade.
Students must be entering first grade to be eligible.
Approximately 50 - 60 students will be cast to appear in the show with the Missoula Children’s Theatre Actor/ Directors. In addition, four students will be selected as Assistant Directors and will aid in rehearsals throughout the week and take on essential backstage responsibilities.
There is no guarantee that everyone who auditions will be cast in the play. It is a group audition - no advance preparation is necessary, but a SMILE never hurts! Students should just come ready to have a good time. If your child is chosen to be in the play, the cost for the program is $50. A limited number of scholarships are available though, so please don’t let the cost deter you from having your child audition!

Hansel and Gretel

Music and lyrics by Michael McGill and Jim Caron
Times are tough for modern-day Hank and Gretchen, ‘til they find themselves deep in the wondrous Wildwood world of Hansel and Gretel. The Missoula Children's Theatre proudly presents an original musical adaptation of the Brothers Grimm age-old tale of a journey, a secret and a grand adventure. Poor Hank and Gretchen! All of their friends, off to summer camp, have left them behind. While waiting for dinner, Hank and Gretchen fall asleep and dream their way to times gone by. They wake with a start! Their clothes are so strange–and so are their names. Lost in the deep dark woods, Granny leads Hansel and Gretel on a search for the path which will lead them to better times at home. But as evening approaches and the moon rises above the trees, Hansel and Gretel are not alone! The Rascals dart from tree to tree as sweet little Wallybirds innocently munch on the cookie crumbs left as a map on the forest floor. Crafty cooks and Gingerbread Men lead our heroes to a colorful cottage concocted completely of candy and cakes, where Hansel and Gretel unravel the secret of the Wildwood Witch:
- Is she bad?
- Or is she good?
- Is she wicked…
- Or misunderstood?
