BELLINGHAM – Auditions for three Missoula Children's Theatre (MCT) productions at the Mount Baker Theatre will take place in July and August this summer. Summer camp reservations are currently underway for this unique performing arts opportunity in Bellingham.
King Arthur's Quest by Missoula Children's Theatre Missoula Children’s Theatre has visited the Mount Baker Theatre for 10 years. The concept is that two young drama teachers and emerging actors travel around the country in a little red truck loaded down with props, scenery, and a few personal belongings.
The Tour Directors work with youth of all ages and socio-economic backgrounds from around the globe in venues of all different sizes. They teach stage movement, blocking, auditioning skills, vocal and body warm-ups.
The excellence of these productions along with our unique and acclaimed teaching methods result in the successful fulfillment of MCT’s mission: The development of life skills in children through participation in the performing arts.
You can find out more about MCT's nearly 40-year history online by visiting Missoula Children’s Theatre.
The MCT Tour Actor/Directors will conduct rehearsals throughout the week from 10:00am to 2:30pm each day. Students, ages 1st grade through 12th grade are encouraged to audition. Some of the cast members will be asked to stay for a rehearsal immediately following the audition. As with all MCT auditions no advance preparation is necessary.
The cost of the week-long camp is $185 which includes two complimentary tickets to final Saturday performances and a free camp T-shirt.
