Missoula Children’s Theater returning to South Lake Tahoe

Missoula Children’s Theater will return to Tahoe in the coming week, according to an announcement from Tahoe Arts Project.

Auditions will be held for the production of “Beauty Lou and the Country Beast” on Monday, Oct. 23, at South Tahoe Middle School multi-purpose room from 4 to 6 p.m. Those auditioning should plan to stay for the full two hours, according to Tahoe Arts Project (TAP). Some of the cast members will be asked to stay for a rehearsal immediately following the audition.

There are roles for up to 60 children. Among the roles to be cast are Beauty Lou, Imaginary Friend, Beast, Dusty and Slim the farmhands, Fleabite Clyde the dog, the Younger Daughters, the Older Daughters, the Country Folk and the Barnyard Critters.



Assistant directors will also be cast to aid in rehearsals throughout the week, and to take on essential backstage responsibilities. Students in kindergarten (must be 5) through 12th grade are encouraged to audition. No advance preparation is necessary, but there is a possibility that not everyone who auditions will be cast — TAP asks parents to share this information with their child prior to auditioning.

Auditions will be held for the production of “Beauty Lou and the Country Beast” on Monday, Oct. 23, at South Tahoe Middle School multi-purpose room from 4 to 6 p.m.

Rehearsals will take place all week from 4 – 8:30 p.m. depending on the role. All children who are cast must be able to attend all rehearsals for their role, according to TAP.
