Coming up April 21st-26th, the Tehama County Arts Council will once again host the Missoula Children's Theatre. The production will be The Wiz of the West, and will be an opportunity for 50+ Tehama County children to experience theatre production.
This program is really quite remarkable, in that two actor/directors come into town in a truck toting the makings of a musical. They spend a week in residence, casting local kids on Monday, rehearsing each night and performing a matinee and evening performance on Saturday. During the week they will also provide workshops at local schools on acting. While most of the children's roles are not large, each child gets exposure to what it is like to perform onstage.
The Tehama County Arts Council is offering a supplemental workshop prior to Missoula arriving that will utilize past MCT actors to teach those planning to audition for this year's production what to expect. Many children who may be afraid to attempt the audition process may feel more confident after attending the free workshop on April 12th, at 10:30 for 7th-12th graders; 11:30 for kindergarten-6th graders.
