Auditions to be held for upcoming Missoula Children's Theatre

High Plains Art Council (HPAC) will be holding auditions for the Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) production of Rumpelstiltskin.

The Montana-based MCT was founded four decades ago. The organization tours throughout the county and the world to help stage performances in small communities.

The MCT will be in Sidney for a week as part of it’s international touring project, and is presented to the community by HPAC.

Touring productions come complete with costumes, scenery, props and makeup.

This year MTC will be presenting Rumpelstiltskin, the fairytale of a miller who brags to the king that his daughter can spin straw into gold. Like all good fairytale stories, Rumpelstiltskin teaches the morals to not be greedy, selfish or boast, while encouraging honesty.

Among the roles to be cast are Rumpelstiltskin, Queen Beatrice, Clara, a jester, King Whatsat, villagers, gnomes, wizards, knights and bees.

Students ages K-12, are encouraged to audition with no preparation necessary.
