Participation Rules:
✨ Auditions are Monday, March 23 from 4-6pm. No advance preparation is necessary, but a smile never hurts. They should be ready to come and have a good time! Please remember that everyone must stay the entire two hours of the audition. Roles will be given to students and the rehearsal schedule determined based on assigned part.
✨ Rehearsal call times will be the week of March 23 - March 27 during select hours based on roles between 4pm-8:15pm. Typically, younger roles rehearse in the earlier half of each day and older roles in the full or later half. Main role call times may be full days, so students must clear their schedule for the week.
✨ Students missing any rehearsals will not be able to perform as there is only a week to learn the whole production and MCT Directors require actors to attend ALL scheduled rehearsals.

📍Ages 5-7 (Kindergarten/1st): 16 Students. No performance experience needed! MCT offers ensemble groups that bring humor, charm, and energy to the show while helping young performers get comfortable onstage, learn to follow cues, practice staying in character, and experience success without pressure.

📍Assistant Directors (5th Grade Only): 4 Students. During the audition, one to four Assistant Directors (ADs) are selected to help teach and direct the show early in the week and take on technical responsibilities at performance time.

The Secret Garden, adapted by Michael McGill, music and lyrics by Michael McGill, is an original Missoula Children’s Theatre rendition and a joyful retelling of a story of hope and celebration and all good things in life. Mistress Mary Quite Contrary embarks on a journey from India to her uncle’s home in England. Along the way she makes friends with the hilarious Canadian Geese and the colorful Giant Bugs that Rock! In time she learns to appreciate everything around her, including the Moor Animals and the helpful Fireflies. Add to that a good healthy dose of caring, and what happens?
