Call for young actors: Missoula Children’s Theatre is coming back to Shoreline

Group auditions for the Missoula Children's Theatre production of the "Pied Piper" will be held on Monday, June 18 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm (auditions begin promptly at 4pm, no late students are accepted) in the Shoreline Room of the Shoreline Center (north end) 

Approximately 60 local students in Kindergarten through 12th Grade will be cast to appear in the show. There is no guarantee that everyone who auditions will be cast in the play, but with upwards of 60 roles available, there's room for many performers.

Students wishing to audition must arrive by the scheduled starting time and stay for the entire two-hour session. The first rehearsal begins approximately 30 minutes after the audition.

There is no fee for kids to audition. If your child is selected, you will be asked to pay the registration fee of $90 directly after the audition.

If your young thespian is interested in auditioning, register them through this website.

There will about 10 lead characters that stay for the first rehearsal AFTER the audition on Monday night, June 18 from 6:30-8:30pm. If your child is one of them, plan on going out and getting them a snack/dinner or bring something to the audition at 4pm that he/she can eat after. We will not be providing any food or drinks after the audition.

Rehearsals will be conducted June 18 through 22 from 4:00 to 8:30pm at Shoreline Center. Although not all cast members will be needed at every session, those auditioning must have a clear schedule for the entire week and, if selected, be able to attend all rehearsals required for their role. A detailed rehearsal schedule will be distributed at the conclusion of the audition. Cast members scheduled for the full 4½ hours of rehearsal will be asked to bring a sack lunch, dinner or snack.

The performance will be held on Saturday, June 23 at 1pm and will be presented at the Shoreline Center Auditorium, during the Shoreline Arts Festival.

The students in the cast will be called for dress rehearsal before the performance that day. All those cast must be available for the performance. 

One free performance ticket will be given to each student who auditions; additional tickets are available for $10 each online or at the door.
