MARIETTA — Peoples Bank Theatre in downtown Marietta will welcome back Missoula Children’s Theatre for the production of “Cinderella.”

The production will feature local school-age children. The production begins with auditions on Monday, July 24, and culminating with performances on Saturday, July 29 at 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Auditions will be 3-5 p.m. on Monday, July 24 for students entering first grade through 12th grade, with plans to cast approximately 50-60 local students. There is no guarantee that everyone who auditions will be cast in the play, the theater said.

Students wishing to audition must arrive by the scheduled starting time and stay for the entire two-hour session; due to time constraints, late comers and anyone missing the initial audition may not be considered in the audition of the show, the theater said.

Participation in the production is free. No preparation or prior experience is necessary for the audition, the theater said.

The first rehearsal will begin 15-30 minutes after the audition. Most students in the production will rehearse daily from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Tuesday through Friday.

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, the theater said.

A detailed rehearsal schedule will be distributed at the conclusion of the audition. Cast members scheduled for the full 4.5 hours of rehearsal will be asked to bring a sack lunch or snack.

Performances will be Saturday, July 29 at 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on the stage of Peoples Bank Theatre.

Tickets are $12 for adults and $ for youth 17 and younger. Admission proceeds support this program.

The Missoula Children’s Theatre is a non-profit organization based in Missoula, Montana. This coming year more than 65,000 cast members across the globe will take to the stage to the delight and applause of their families, friends, community, neighbors and teachers, the theater said.
