Treasure Island
The Missoula Children’s Theatre presents Treasure Island! 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.

AUDITIONS
Monday, August 18, 10:00 am–12:00 pm
Pre-registration for the audition is recommended. The audition begins promptly at 10:00 am 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 am–12:00 pm and 12:15–2:15 pm. Students cast in the show must be available for all rehearsals, no exceptions.
