Missoula Children’s Theatre is the nation’s largest touring children’s theatre, touring extensively for more than 40 years, performing all over the world. A tour team arrives in a given town with a set, lights, costumes, props and make-up, everything it takes to put on a play…except the cast. The team holds an open audition and casts 50-60 local students to perform in the production. The show is rehearsed throughout the week and a public performance is presented on a Saturday.
This year’s MCT show is an original adaptation of the classic children’s story, The Wizard of Oz. Auditions for children grades K-12 will be held on Monday, February 3, 2025 at 4pm. Call (262) 472-4444 for more information.
The Irvin L. Young Auditorium boasts a unique design with a graciously appointed chamber housing approximately 1,340 seats. Through innovative lighting and architectural arrangements, the auditorium achieves a sense of warmth and intimacy despite its size. Its clean lines and uncluttered space create an inviting performing environment, with a 46’ proscenium opening revealing a spacious stage spanning over 4,000 sq. ft.
