Children to be cast for ‘Rapunzel’

The audition for the Missoula Children’s Theatre production of “Rapunzel” will be held at 9 a.m. Monday, Aug. 4, in the Falls Area Performing Arts Center at Oconto Falls High School. Roles are available for students entering grades one through 12. Approximately 50-60 local students will be cast to appear in the show. There is no guarantee that everyone who auditions will be cast in the play. Students wishing to audition must arrive by 8:45 a.m. and stay for the entire two-hour audition session. The first rehearsal will begin approximately 30 minutes after the audition. This is a group audition, and no advance preparation is necessary. Rehearsals will be conducted from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Aug. 5-8 in the Falls Area Performing Arts Center and the OFHS choir room. Although not all cast members will be needed at every session, those auditioning must have a clear schedule for the entire week and, if selected, be able to attend all rehearsals required for their role. A detailed rehearsal schedule will be distributed at the conclusion of the audition. Cast members scheduled for the full day of rehearsal will be asked to bring a sack lunch and snack. The performances will be held at 3 and 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 9, at the Falls Area Performing Arts Center. The students in the cast will be called for dress rehearsal before the performance that day. The Missoula Children’s Theatre is a nonprofit organization based in Missoula, Montana. The residency in Oconto Falls is made possible by the Oconto Falls Friends of the Arts with help from ST Paper, CenturyLink, Community Memorial Hospital and Neva Hodge-Lemorande.
