Missoula Children’s Theatre: Hercules
Sat, Nov 11, 3:00 & 5:30pm, 2023
Presents
Welcome to Ancient Greece, where the focus is on the big tournament! The Olympic Games are starting soon, and the Cyclops and Titans are both expecting to win big in the Games. But the tournament can’t start without Hercules. Will the legendary strongman of the ancient World spark the flame and start the festivities on time, or will his legendary tardiness get in the way of the Games? Join us for a tale the scholars will talk about for ages as mythical creatures and Olympians alike share in a friendly competition. Along the way we may just learn that true strength lies not in our muscles but in our character.
Auditions
Monday, Nov 6 at 3:30pm, at Methow Valley Elementary, meet in the Cub Gym. Students in Grades 1-12 can audition for a part.
