Does your family include a student(s) between kindergarten and 12th grade who would enjoy being part of a production on The Young Performing Arts Center stage? This next week may be their opportunity, as Missoula Children’s Theatre is looking for approximately 50 local students to perform in their production of The Jungle Book on Saturday, February 14 at 3 p.m.

The letter below from The Young gives the details, but for starters:

Main Street – Students who are selected for acting or assistant director roles will begin rehearsing 15 minutes after the conclusion of the auditions, with the session continuing until 8:15 p.m. [Payment for parking will not be required.]
Tuesday-Friday, February 10-13 – Rehearsals from 4:00-8:15 p.m. – Depending upon role, some participants will not be needed for all of these times, but they must be available if assigned.
Saturday, February 14 @ 3 p.m. – Performance

The synopsis: Ever been abandoned in the jungle, adopted by wolves, taught by a bear, befriended by a panther and chased by a tiger? In the Missoula Children’s Theatre musical adaptation of THE JUNGLE BOOK, Mowgli the man-cub has all these adventures and more. Join him as he escapes from the Bander-log, outwits a tiger, enlists the help of a rock-python, explores what it means to be human and learns a lesson from the brave mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. Original music and rollicking humor give new life to the classic tale by Rudyard Kipling.
