IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE SIGNING UP!
While this production is geared towards older students, there are also roles for younger students. In 2023, there was an exceptionally large audition pool:
85% of 4th and 5th graders were cast (with almost all 5th graders receiving a role).
Less than 43% of students in the 3rd grade and below were cast.
Please have a discussion with your student before they decide if they would like to audition. We can not ensure that there is a part for every student.
We want this to be a positive experience for all students who audition. The process can be fun and exciting, but ultimately, the Missoula Children's Theatre directors may have to make some hard decisions as there are only approximately 50-60 roles.
If you have questions or concerns, please email RiffenburghPTO@gmail.com.
