06/27/2007: "Missoula Children’s Theatre Presents Cinderella June 30"

Missoula Children’s Theatre arrived at San Juan Community Theatre Monday, June 25, for a residency week preparing an original musical adaptation of the classic fairy tale Cinderella. Of course, MCT always puts a unique twist on the story. Auditions for students entering grades 1-12 begin at 9:00 a.m.

Between 50-60 students will be cast. There are roles for Cinderella and her two stepsisters, the stepmother, Cleo the cat, Fido the dog, various lords and ladies, town criers and the king, as well as beggars, mice and pumpkins.


In addition to learning their lines, songs and movement during the week, students will learn about many aspects of production behind the scenes in interactive workshops. In fact, several local students will serve as assistant directors throughout the week.

There will be two performances of the show on Saturday, June 30, at 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

This production is sponsored by Downriggers and Daisy Bloom. Tickets are $14 for adults and $7 for student reserved. $5 Student RUSH will be available at the door. A private donor has made provision for free tickets to anyone needing financial assistance to attend a Theatre event. The SJCT Box Office is open Tuesday-Friday, 11-4, Saturdays 11-2, and one hour before any performance. Call 360-378-3210, or go to www.SanJuanCommunityTheatre.org.
