Missoula Children’s Theatre Fall 2015 - Blackbeard the Pirate
October 24, 2015 marked the successful completion of Laytonville’s third annual visit from Missoula Children’s Theater (MCT). This year’s production was Blackbeard the Pirate. It featured forty kids from kindergarten through eighth grade at Laytonville and Spyrock School.
The MCT experience started on Monday morning when the team of two Tour Actor-Directors show up at the school and present a school-wide assembly. This year’s assembly focused on the art of storytelling and involved at least twenty kids in impromptu demonstrations or storytelling from around the world.
On Monday afternoon the MCT team conducted auditions. The three main things that the team look at in the kids auditions are; loud, clear voices, big, expressive movements and listening and paying attention. Each students who showed up for the auditions was cast in the show. There were perky parrots, spooky seaweed creatures, cranky crabs, crabby crocodiles, magical mermaids, lazy beach bums and proud pirates. The students rehearsed each day after school, some up to four hours each day, and by Friday they had an awesome show. Missoula Childrens Theater touring productions are complete with costumes, scenery, props and makeup, making for a pretty spectacular theatrical experience.
Performances took place on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon at the Tin Gym. We estimate that over 300 people got to see the performance. The performances by the kids were impressive. It is always so much fun to see what can be accomplished in just a few days.
Missoula Childrens Theater is brought to Laytonville by Long Valley Dance, with collaboration with the Laytonville unified School District and Laytonville Healthy Start. The production is also made possible by generous contributions from members of our business community as well as from private donors. We would like to thank Park-n-Takit, Geiger’s Long Valley Market, Laytonville Napa Auto Parts, Weathertop Nursery, Long Valley Auto Parts, Kent Westwood, Michael Marsh, Shelagh Deveney and Ryan Howard.
We would also like to thank all of the parents and other family members who helped out in making this special event possible. And mostly we would like to thank and congratulate the entire cast of Blackbeard the Pirate for showing up, and doing your best and making our musical theater project an awesome experience.
