Indulge your child’s inner star with stage workshops

Northern Nevada Arts Council and Missoula Children’s Theatre present two musical theater workshops this coming summer, in June and July.

The first production, “Sleeping Beauty”, ranges from June 27 to July 2. Auditions take place Monday, June 27 at 10 a.m. in the auditorium of Lowry High School. Rehearsals will take place Monday from 12:30 – 2:30 p.m. and Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. – noon and again from 12:30 – 2:30 p.m. There will also be free workshops Tuesday through Thursday from 2:45 – 3 p.m. Dress rehearsal will be Saturday July 2 at 10 a.m. with the final performances of “Sleeping Beauty” that same day at 3 and 7 p.m.

All auditions, rehearsals, workshops and performances will be held in the Lowry High School auditorium.

If you miss out on “Sleeping Beauty,” the second production will be “Peter and Wendy,” occurring July 25-30, with performances Saturday July 30 at 3 and 7 p.m. Auditions for “Peter and Wendy” will take place Monday July 25. Rehearsals and workshops will run on the same days of the week and times of day as “Sleeping Beauty.”

The cost is $25 for first child in the family, $20 each for additional children in same family. DVDs and T-shirts will be available for purchase from the directors.

Children must be available for all rehearsals and performances; rehearsal time is short and the children learn a lot, so any absences will affect the quality of the entire performance. Children should bring a sack lunch and bottled water each day they will be at rehearsal over lunchtime, which is noon to 12:30. All rehearsals will start on time.
