Let’s Go Science Show
Presented by Minden Exchange Bank & Trust Co. The Let’s Go Science Show is a wacky look at “how things work” with Professor Smart and Dr. Knowitall. This fun-filled production teaches physics concepts through theatrically designed demonstrations and hands-on experiments. Lots of audience interaction with these two legends of the circus, great scenery, awesome lighting and illusions all make this one science lesson that you won’t want to miss.
The Emperor’s New Clothes
Sponsored by The Amick/Youngson Foundation, Nathan Raun Children’s Theatre Fund, and Minden Community Players. Missoula Children’s Theatre presents THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES, an original adaptation of the classic children’s story. “Dress for success” is good advice that the Emperor takes whole-heartedly, wanting to impress the Kings & Queens of the Elemental Kingdoms. But where to stop? When the clothes (and other people’s opinions) become more important than the people of the kingdom, trouble brews. With the loyal Silkworms are kicked out of the castle, it becomes clear that the Emperor needs to learn a lesson.
AUDITIONS – Monday, June 22 at 10:00 am (with rehearsal for some parts immediately following). Approximately 50 roles are available. Students must be entering 1st through 12th grade. No advance preparation is necessary. Most students rehearse approximately 4 hours and 15 minutes each day, Tuesday through Friday, but schedules vary. PARENTS (or other responsible adults) will need to complete this form on Monday morning, or can complete it in advance and send it with the child/ren: REGISTRATION FORM.
PERFORMANCES – Friday, June 26 at 6:30 pm and Saturday, June 27 at 1:30 pm . Adults $7 / Children ages 5-13 $5 / Under 5 free.
