Missoula Children’s Theatre

to feature Ritzville students

Missoula Children’s Theatre returns to Ritzville Oct. 12-16. Audiences will get a fresh look at an old favorite when the MCT and more than 50 local students present “Robinson Crusoe.”

Performances are scheduled for Friday, Oct. 16, at 1:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $3 for children and $5 for adults.

Auditions for the musical are set for Monday, Oct. 12, beginning at 3:20 p.m. in the Ritzville Grade School Gym.

All students who wish to audition must turn in a permission slip to the grade school office by Friday, Oct. 9.

Most students will rehearse about four and a half hours each day, Monday through Friday.

Rehearsals will begin immediately after auditions on Monday for some students. All students who receive parts will receive the week’s schedule at that time.

Auditions are open to all K-12 students who reside in the Ritzville School District. Actors are chosen, as well as assistant directors, who will help with rehearsals throughout the week and will work backstage during performances.
