R.E. Jewell Elementary

****ATTENTION JAGUARS****

Jewell Elementary is incredibly excited to welcome the Missoula Children's Theatre back to our school AGAIN the week of April 20th-25th for the production of Sleeping Beauty!

The Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT), the nation’s largest touring children’s theatre, has been touring extensively for nearly 50 years now from Montana to Japan, and will visit nearly 1,100 communities this year with up to 44 teams of Tour Actor/Directors. A tour team arrives in a given town in their “little red truck” loaded with a set, lights, costumes, props and make-up, everything it takes to put on a play…except the cast. The team holds an open audition and casts 50-60 local students to perform in the production. The show is rehearsed throughout the week and two public performances are presented at the end of the week.

Students will be coming home from school next week with detailed information about the audition process on Monday, April 20th along with the permission slip required. This opportunity isn't required and is done after school hours. We want to give HUGE shout out to our fabulous R.E. Jewell Elementary PTO for making this opportunity a reality AGAIN! We couldn't be more excited for our students to have this amazing opportunity of the arts. Let's give them a warm welcome, Jaguars!

The Missoula Children's Theatre tour actors are making their way to Bend, Oregon in their little red truck and will be arriving to Jewell Elementary next Monday, April 7th!

Our students are incredibly lucky to have professional actors come instill the love of theatre and acting in our school community. Read Madelynn and Emily's bio's below.

If your child would like to audition for the upcoming performance of Alice in Wonderland, please make sure their permission slip gets turned in this week.

We can't wait!
