It's hard to believe the season is about to begin. The Fab Four take the stage with our opening night performance a little over a week from now. And with our busiest season to follow, it's going to be quite a year.
Honestly, summer is supposed to be a time of reorganizing and planning. But the time went about as fast as the shorts wearing in this week's 50 degree morning temps.
Which is why I'm just getting to writing about the August 8 performance of "Red Riding Hood" by the Missoula Children's Theatre and 68 incredibly talented local performers.
With auditions on Monday the 4th, followed by a week of intense rehearsals, these incoming 1st through 12 graders learned a lot in a week, and had a great time. The show was a real hit, a silly revision of the Little Red Riding Hood story, with Riding Hood a little older and savvier, and the Big Bad Wolf not being so bad after all.
The emotions about this show are still strong. Todd, one of our stage hands, sent the following photo and wrote, "These two were just GREAT!!! The kids and the show they put on were excellent, and it was all because of Brendan and Marie."
Do you have any memories and photos of the show? Please send them to me and I'll post them here.
