Presents:

September 29 – October 3

Since 1998, Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) has been a beloved tradition at our school, giving students the chance to shine on stage while building confidence, teamwork, and creativity.

What is Missoula Children’s Theatre? MCT is the nation’s largest touring children’s theatre program. Their professional actor-directors travel to schools across the country, bringing everything needed to put on a full-scale musical in just five days. Students audition, rehearse, and perform together — no prior experience required!

Roles are suited for K-5 students of all skill and experience levels.

We are thrilled to host Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) twice at Stephenson Elementary during the 2025/26 school year!

How It Works

  1. Sign Up for the Casting Lottery
    Families must enter the lottery during the registration window. Cast is selected by random draw to fill available roles.

    Sign Up for the Casting Lottery (sign ups open September 5th to 12th). You’ll be notified by Monday, September 15 if your student is in the show.

  2. Complete Registration if Selected
    Families of selected students will receive a confirmation email with a link to finalize registration and pay the participation fee. Scholarships are available.
  3. Clear Your Calendar
    Students must attend all rehearsals Monday through Thursday and both Friday performances. Because the show is produced in just five days, full attendance is required.
    • Monday – Thursday 2:45–4:45pm (All cast members; younger students may not be called every day)
    • Monday – Thursday 5:15–7:15pm (Most older students, depending on role)
    • Friday: No rehearsals after school; students must return by 6:00pm for the family performance at 7:00pm.
  4. Celebrate the Performance!
    Join us Friday evening to cheer on the cast. Save your seats and skip the line by purchasing tickets and bouquets in advance.
