Founded in 1970, Missoula Children’s Theatre is internationally recognized for its unique educational model, which allows local children to rehearse and perform a full musical production in just one week. This residency provides an exceptional opportunity for students to build confidence, teamwork, and performance skills while working alongside professional theatre artists. After participating in a week-long camp, local children put on a full performance.
Get ready to take center stage! The Missoula Children's Theatre is coming to the Alhambra Theatre, and they are looking for local stars to fill approximately 50–60 roles in the production of Peter and Wendy. Auditions (Casting) will be held at the Alhambra Theatre, on July 20, 2026, at 10:00 am, and all students from grades 1 through 12 are encouraged to try out—no advance preparation or experience is necessary! While rehearsal schedules depend on the specific roles assigned, most students should plan to rehearse for about 4 hours and 15 minutes each day, Monday, July 20th through Friday July 24th. It all leads up to a spectacular final performance on July 25, 2026, at 2:00 pm.
SHOW SYNOPSIS: When Captain Hook sends his right-hand man, Smee, on a quest to capture Peter Pan, it’s seemingly business as usual…at first. Little does Hook realize what fantastic adventures await him and his pirate posse in their search for the elusive Peter Pan. Mistaken identities, ever-morphing clouds, a classy crocodile, some very lost boys, and a fickle shadow all add to the mayhem. Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Darling embark on a quest of their own and find themselves trekking everywhere from Hawaii to the North Pole in search of their three missing children. With help from the earth-friendly Neverlanders, exotic Neverland creatures, and faithful Tinker Bell, the Darling children are found, disputes are ultimately resolved, and everyone–including Captain Hook–finds a place where they truly belong.
