ENTERPRISE — Missoula Children’s Theatre is returning to Wallowa County, thanks to Fishtrap, to cast local actors in an original rendition of “Sleeping Beauty.”

All Wallowa County students from kindergarten to grade 12 are invited to audition for the musical on Monday, Nov. 11 at the Enterprise School Cafeteria from 4-6 p.m.

Those auditioning should come prepared to stay, as several cast members will start rehearsal immediately following the audition.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for students throughout the county to showcase their talent and collaborate on a creative, high-energy production,” said Jennifer Hobbs, youth and community outreach manager at Fishtrap.

Among the roles to be cast in the musical play are Sleeping Beauty, Scarella, Madame Butterfly, the King, the Queen, Spot, Fairies, Trolls, Palace Attendants and Caterpillars.

No advance preparation is necessary. Assistant directors will also be cast to aid in rehearsals throughout the week, and to take on essential backstage responsibilities.

Rehearsals are Monday, Nov. 11 from 6-8:15 p.m. and Tuesday through Friday from 4-8:15 p.m. each day. (Younger students may be dismissed at 6 p.m. during the week, depending on the roles they receive.)

“Sleeping Beauty” will be presented on Saturday, Nov. 16 at 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the Enterprise School cafeteria, 201 SE Fourth St.

Admission is $10 adults, $8 seniors and Fishtrappers, $5 for ages 12-18 and free for 11 and younger.

Tickets are available in advance at fishtrap.org (hover on “Programs” and click on “Theater”) or at the door.

A long-standing Wallowa County tradition, Missoula Children’s Theatre has been touring internationally for more than 40 years.

For each weeklong residency, the actor/directors arrive with scripts, costumes, scenery and props.
