Deep in the salty waters of the Sassafras Sea there lived a Little Mermaid. Her name was Celia. She lived for music. In fact, it was said that she had the loveliest scales in all of the Deep. Celia and her three sisters were allowed one visit to the World Above, each on their sixteenth birthday, to learn the secrets of life on dry land. Their discoveries included ferocious dragons, advancing armies and, of course, a handsome and resourceful Prince Charming. In a new version of the age-old tale, lots of music, plot surprises and humor await the audience.

Missoula Children’s Theatre performances have delighted and amazed audiences for nearly four decades. The week-long residency stars 50-60 local students directed by 2 professional actors. After auditions on Monday, the youth are cast as characters. By the end of week, they’ve gained real “character.” Students that are not selected for the musical have the opportunity to be on stage in the Preview Show directed by Judy Bush. This features folk dances from around the world. Judy is a CFA board member and was active during college in the BYU International Dance Company. She has also worked with the Rexburg Summer Folk Festival and other festivals.

COMMUNITY TRYOUTS

Tryouts are Presidents Day, Feb. 18 from 1:00-3:30 p.m. at Wilson School in Caldwell. There is no preparation needed. All children participate in groups and the children are selected according to their ability to listen to directions, ability to speak clearly, and "what is needed for the show here." All children may participate in a dance review of folk dances before the show or in the show. It is usually a positive experience. Ages for children is 1st grade through 12th.

Parents register students who must be available after school all week for short rehearsals, Friday for dress rehearsal at 9:30 a.m. and matinee for schools at 1:00 plus evening show on Friday and Sat. afternoon at 3:00. Parents are not encouraged to remain for auditions as the youth do better without them.
